Vintage Motorcycle Show
Why have four wheels when you only need two?
A weekend of chrome, leather, roaring engines, and two-wheeled nostalgia, Vintage Motorcycle Weekend brings together riders, collectors, builders, families, and enthusiasts at the Gilmore Car Museum in Hickory Corners, Michigan.
The weekend features hundreds of motorcycles spanning more than a century, from rare classics and vintage survivors to newer bikes ridden in by spectators. The judged show highlights antique and vintage motorcycles, scooters, and customs 25 years and older, while the bike corral welcomes daily riders both days.
Saturday kicks off with a Vintage Ride-Out through the scenic backroads of West Michigan, followed by rider activities, including minibike races. Visitors can also enjoy demonstrations, restoration displays, music, food, family activities, and a swap meet featuring vintage parts and memorabilia. Vintage motorcycles will also be up for sale.
Sunday is the centerpiece of Vintage Motorcycle Weekend, featuring the Vintage Motorcycle Show and awards celebrating the weekend’s standout machines. Visitors can also enjoy day two of the swap meet, minibike races, and the vintage motorcycle for-sale lot.
This year's featured marque is V-Twin Indians, honoring Indian Motorcycle's 125th anniversary.
Whether you're a lifelong rider, collector, or simply love classic motorcycles, Vintage Motorcycle Weekend celebrates the craftsmanship, stories, freedom, and timeless culture of the open road.
