Building Speed: Motorcycle Racing & Mechanical Triumphs of the 1950s - 60s will deconstruct, re-build and celebrate vintage racing motorcycles’ historical and cultural impact in an America that strives to better understand its place in 2012 and beyond. The show's nucleus will be a collection of race and performance motorcycles spanning different nations, builders, companies, styles, visions and purposes. Each bike and proud owner will tell its own story but will collectively represent a modern day renaissance in golden age engineering, mechanics’ and builders’ pride of our past. In our post-industrial modern day America, this show will strive to re-ignite the importance of an inventive, resourceful, do- it-yourself American vintage motorcycle culture that prided itself not on quantity, but on quality, skill and speed.
