On Sunday, June 11th over 4,000 spectator motorcycles and nearly 300 vintage show bikes overtook the Gilmore Car Museum's campus for the 22nd annual Vintage Motorcycle Show and Swap Meet. The show was co-hosted by the Wolverine Chapter of the AMCA, the Vintage Japanese Motorcycle Club, and the BMW Motorcycle Club of Battle Creek and sponsored in part by AAA of Michigan, NAPA of Delton, Checkered Past Cycles of Galesburg, and Battle Creek Harley Davidson.
