Canadian Motorcycle Hall of Fame Announces Inaugural Inductees – Presentations to be held on May 6

"We have a broad cross-section of Canadian motorcycling achievement in this group", says Bar Hodgson, Chairman of the CMHM. "We had many nominations from across the country and all types of motorcycling activity – competitors, business people, and organizations. Paring them down to just twelve was a challenge. We now have an inventory of nominees, with more coming in all the time, which will see the Hall of Fame grow steadily in future years."
