    The speed. The machines. The legends. Experience the thrilling early days of American Superbike racing!


    In the 1970s and 1980s, motorcycle racing was undergoing a revolution. Manufacturers pushed the limits of performance, fearless riders battled for victory, and production-based motorcycles evolved into some of the most exciting racing machines ever built.


    Join us at the Larz Anderson Auto Museum for a fascinating evening exploring Superbike: An Illustrated Early History, written by renowned motorcycle journalist Kevin Cameron, with extraordinary photography by John Owens.


    Joining Cameron and Owens will be legendary motorcycle racer, journalist, and former Cycle magazine editor Cook Neilson! A pioneering figure in American motorcycle racing, Neilson famously rode his Ducati 750SS, nicknamed "Old Blue," to victory at the 1977 Daytona Superbike race. His remarkable career and contributions to motorcycle journalism helped shape the sport during one of its most exciting eras.


    Drawing from their more than 50-year friendship and shared passion for motorcycle racing, Cameron and Owens bring to life the formative years of AMA Superbike racing, from 1976 through 1986. Through rarely seen and previously unpublished photographs captured at legendary circuits including Daytona, Laguna Seca, and Road America, discover the riders, machines, engineering breakthroughs, and fierce competition that helped shape modern motorcycle racing.


    From the challenges of making motorcycles faster and more competitive to the ingenuity of the teams that transformed the sport, Superbike offers an unforgettable look at one of motorsport's most innovative eras.


    Whether you're a lifelong motorcycle enthusiast, a racing history buff, or simply fascinated by the pursuit of speed, this is an evening you won't want to miss!


    Signed copies of Superbike will be available for $65.00 at the event!
