Motorcycle Hall Of Fame Announces BMW: The Mastery of Speed
The Motorcycle Hall of Fame Museum will celebrate eight decades of BMW sport bikes with an all-new exhibit, "BMW: The Mastery of Speed." Opening July 20, 2005, this showcase of the German manufacturer's sporting heritage features seldom seen and historically significant machines on loan from the renowned Peter Nettesheim collection. The exhibit will also include rare images and artifacts from Mr. Nettesheim as well as from Mobile Tradition, BMW's division devoted to preserving the company's heritage. Together, these elements tell the memorable stories behind BMW's many technical innovations.

The official dedication of "BMW: The Mastery of Speed" includes a ribbon-cutting ceremony at 4 pm, July 20, visits by special guests from BMW Motorrad USA, and a sampling of Munich's best-loved culinary traditions. The event and exhibit are open to the public (regular admission prices apply). The opening also coincides with the BMW Motorcycle Owners of America 33rd Annual International Rally, held July 21 - 24 in Lima, Ohio, which is expected to bring up to 9,000 BMW enthusiasts to the area.
