Anthony Cox, of Jersey Mills, Pa., picked up his 1975 Yamaha DT100 enduro from AMA Director of Finance Mark Pennington at the AMA campus in Pickerington, Ohio in August. Cox won the “Ran When Parked” Raffle Bike Challenge at AMA Vintage Motorcycle Days, featuring Royal Enfield, in July.

The unusual raffle provided an opportunity for the AMA and the Skidmark Garage in Cleveland, Ohio, to demonstrate how to take a relatively inexpensive vintage motorcycle and get it into operating condition.

The project also demonstrated the value of community garages, where motorcyclists can rent space and tools and tap the expertise of seasoned riders and wrenchers. All proceeds from the raffle support the AMA Motorcycle Hall of Fame. More information about the AMA Motorcycle Hall of Fame and other raffle bikes can be found at www.motorcyclemuseum.org.
