Legends and Legacies Foundation is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization dedicated to providing antique motorcycle events and education opportunities.
Legends Motorcycle Museum owner, Rick Salisbury, has announced details for the 2022 “Legends and Legacies Memorial Run.”
The 3,300 mile ride will be held September 5 through September 25, 2022 and will feature antique motorcycles pre-dating 1930. Nearly 45 of the rarest motorcycles in the world will cross through 8 states and 16 cities between Kitty Hawk, NC to Santa Monica, CA in what is dubbed
as an “elite experience”, featuring unique first class historical accommodations, parking lot garage parties at stops, and two top notch Start and Wrap parties. This cross-country motorcycle endurance ride began as a way to honor the memory of antique motorcycle enthusiast Lonnie Isam Jr. (Junior) and has evolved into a way to pay homage the legends of our past while recognizing the legacies they have created for our future. Junior was the visionary who led antique motorcycle riders across America four times before passing away in 2017 at age 48. Salisbury was friends with Junior and participated in all his endurance rides, with the exception of the first in 2010. Through his continued friendship with Junior’s parents, Lonnie Sr. and Marianne Isam, Salisbury became inspired to memorialize Junior’s legacy by following Junior’s last request – for his friends to go on a motorcycle ride in his memory in lieu of funeral services. Now, five years after Junior’s passing, his friends are doing just that.
“We are beyond thrilled to have our son honored and remembered in this way,” Lonnie Sr. shared. “The 2022 Legends and Legacies Memorial Run will shine a light on Junior’s incredible legacy,” Marianne added. Antique motorcycle enthusiasts from around the world will be invited to honor the individual who revitalized the sport of antique motorcycling by experiencing Junior’s first 2010 route while riding antique motorcycles.
