Motor­cy­clists con­verged on Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course thos past week­end for the track’s annual Vin­tage Motor­cy­cle Days.

Spon­sored by the Amer­i­can Motor­cy­clist Asso­ci­a­tion, the event boasted a num­ber of sem­i­nars and bike shows, as well as North America’s largest motor­cy­cle swap meet, fea­tur­ing sev­eral hun­dred vendors.

Mods and Rock­ers were hon­ored as the Mar­que of the Year and AMA Motor­cy­clist Hall-of-Famer Craig Vet­ter was the Grand Mar­shal for the week­end.
