February 2009 – For nearly a decade, the Sturgis Motorcycle Museum & Hall of Fame has recognized individuals who have made significant contributions to the protection of motorcyclists’ rights, personal freedoms and liberties.

“The sacrifices these individuals have made in the political arena and in grassroots foundations have helped protect the rights of biker enthusiasts,” according to Christine Paige Diers, executive director of the famed South Dakota motorcycle museum.

In appreciation for the accomplishments of these individuals, the Sturgis Motorcycle Museum established the nation’s first and only Freedom Fighters Hall of Fame.  Since 2001, the motorcycle museum has awarded the Freedom Fighter honor to more than 40 individuals throughout the world from members of motorcycle safety foundations to politicians.

The Sturgis Motorcycle Museum & Hall of Fame is currently soliciting nominations for the 2009 Freedom Fighters Hall of Fame.  Individuals are encouraged to participate in the nominating process by submitting the name of an outstanding Freedom Fighter along with a brief bio as to why this person deserves to be recognized.  Biographical information and credentials should be no more than two pages.  All nominations must be received by April 1, 2009.

“This year’s winners will join a growing list of exemplary and tenacious motorcycle philanthropists who serve diligently, humbly and quietly so that we may enjoy the liberties that many of people take for granted,” stated the executive director for the popular motorcycle museum.
