AMA Hall Of Fame Expands
In an event Livestreamed to the world courtesy of Ducati, The AMA Motorcycle Hall of Fame presented by Yamaha Motor Corporation welcomed six new inductees on Thursday, Sept. 10, during the 2026 AMA Motorcycle Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony in Pickerington, Ohio.
“Tonight, we celebrate the individuals who have shaped motorcycling in America — and we reaffirm our shared mission, through the American Motorcycle Heritage Foundation, to keep that legacy alive for every rider who comes after us,” said AMA President and CEO Rob Dingman. “To our members, donors and everyone here tonight: thank you. Your support keeps this institution strong. And to the distinguished Class of 2026 — and our newest Hall of Fame Legend Broc Glover — congratulations. You represent the very best of motorcycling.”
The Class of 2026 includes Russell Bobbitt, Damon Bradshaw, Eraldo Ferracci, Jake Johnson, Gary Sellers and Dale Walker, all of whom received their Hall of Fame rings and ceremonial gold jackets during the event. Also honored was Broc Glover. Already a 2000 inductee into the Hall of Fame, Glover was honored as an “AMA Motorcycle Hall of Fame Legend” — a special distinction to honor the motorcyclists who transcend beyond a single discipline, era or achievement.
Once again serving as the emcees of the AMA Motorcycle Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony were actor, director and former AMA Board Member Perry King and motorsports sideline reporter Laurette Nicoll, who led the festivities and interviewed the inductees on stage.
The AMA Motorcycle Hall of Fame also took a moment to recognize the memories of the seven Hall of Famers who passed away over the past year, which includes George Barber, Ben Nighthorse Campbell, Mike Kidd, Mert Lawwill, J.N. Roberts, Jeff Smith and Steve Wise.
The AMA extends its gratitude to the supporters and partners for the 2026 AMA Motorcycle Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony, including Yamaha Motor Corporation, Dunlop Motorcycle Tires, Ducati North America, KTM North America, MX Sports, Feld Entertainment, Baxley Companies, Phoenix Handlebars, Guts Factory Grip Seats, Stunt Double, the Broc Glover Family and Rob Buydos.
