The 2000 AMA Great Destinations Hillclimb Lapel Pin honors professional motorcycle hillclimbing. This vintage lapel pin offers a worm’s eye view, just before the flag drops.
Even before the AMA came into existence dozens of clubs in America hosted this raucous racing. Stretched chassis and rear suspensions being among the few changes in more than 100 years of racing, these monsters are second in all-out power only to those found on America’s drag strips.
This vintage die-cast pin features the original AMA logo and the words American Motorcycle Association around the outside edge.
The AMA was founded in 1924 as the American Motorcycle Association. In 1976, the name was changed to the American Motorcyclist Association to better reflect its service to motorcyclists.
