MOTORCYCLE HALL OF FAME MUSEUM AWARDED FILM-PRESERVATION GRANT

PICKERINGTON, OHIO -- The Motorcycle Hall of Fame Museum has announced that it
has been awarded a Partnership Grant by the National Film Preservation
Foundation (NFPF), for the purpose of preserving an early motorcycle-racing
film.

The 1921 promotional film, "Beverly Hills Board Track Racing," was produced by
the Indian Motocycle Manufacturing Company of Springfield, Massachusetts, and
currently resides in the Museum's archives.

The Museum is one of 26 recipients of NFPF's 2002 grants intended to help save
culturally significant American "orphan films" not preserved by commercial
interests. Since 1997, the NFPF has helped save more than 500 films and
collections.

"We're honored to be chosen by the NFPF to receive this Partnership Grant," said
Mark Mederski, Executive Director of the Motorcycle Hall of Fame Museum. "Our
goal is to tell the stories of American motorcycling, and its moving-image
heritage is an important and unique way to tell those stories."

The National Film Preservation Foundation is a non-profit organization dedicated
to saving America's film heritage. Created by the U.S. Congress in 1996, the
NFPF is the charitable affiliate of the National Film Preservation Board of the
Library of Congress. For more information, visit www.filmpreservation.org, or
