Here at the Springfield Show, The Yankee Chapter of the AMCA, Antique Motorcycle Club of America, will recreate a miniature version of the awesome 'Rhinebeck Timeline.'

The Yankee chapter is at the Springfield Motorcycle show promoting the largest antique motorcycle meet in the Northeast called the Rhinebeck Grand National. The Yankees working with five other chapters from New York and New Jersey (Big Sandbar, Hudson Valley, Empire, Colonial, and Seaboard) will put on a monster show of machines including a Timeline of over 400 cycles set in order by age- from pedal start belt drives through the British invasion, up to the Japanese multis. In between you can find bikes from around the world, originals, restored, running or rusted. The Timeline is a real treat for any cycle buff.

The Antique Motorcycle Club of America began in 1954 to help bring together those interested in preserving and riding old motorcycles. At that time, bikes from the teens and twenties were the vintage ones, 30s and 40s were just regular old cycles. The AMCA now allows cycle 35 years old or more as "antiques". So for the 2010 season anything from 1975 and back is an eligible machine for showing and judging.

The AMCA has over 10,000 members worldwide in 49 chapters; Yankee covers the entire Northeast region, and we have over 200 members. 

There are at least about 6 big AMCA events every year, called National meets, along with numerous smaller chapter level Regional meets.

Last year we drew over 10,000 spectators who saw hundreds of vendors selling parts and accessories for antique cycles. You might even find your dream bike!
