SPEARFISH, SD, May 2.2007; Sturgis Motorcycle Museum & Hall of Fame, Inc. proudly announces that Kennon D. (Ken) Hines, Vice President of Business Development and Customer Support, Lehman Trikes USA, Inc. has been appointed to its Board of Directors. Hines is a dedicated advocate of the motorcycle industry and the sport. He also is a respected leader throughout the motorcycle community and the industry. Currently, he plays a substantial role in Lehman's continuing industry innovations, designs and firsts for the trike industry.

The Sturgis Motorcycle Museum & Hall of Fame, like the city of Sturgis is synonymous with motorcycles and people who love them. The museum pays special tribute to the Jackpine Gypsies Motorcycle Club, which was the impetus for the Sturgis Motorcycle Rally honoring motorcycles, and the people who ride them. The City of Sturgis has been hosting the "world-renown" rally since it began on August 14, 1938. Annually, during the first week of August as many as 600,000 motorcyclists descend on the quiet little town of 6,700 conservative people and the Sturgis Motorcycle Museum & Hall of Fame welcomes them all. The Museum preserves the sport, past riders, racers, and the history of motorcycles with displays that bring the past to life.

The Museum, Board of Directors, and Mr. Hines look forward to working together and building a better tomorrow for the Museum. Pepper Massey, Executive Director of the Museum stated, "We are extremely fortunate to have someone as knowledgeable about the industry as Mr. Hines serve on our Board of Directors. We expect that his expertise and professional experience will have a positive impact on our future. We welcome his participation and look forward to a long and beneficial relationship."

Hines stated, "I am honored that the Sturgis Motorcycle Museum & Hall of Fame has chosen me to serve as a member on their Board of Directors. I hope that working together we can build an even greater legacy for the future of motorcycling and its lifestyle by preserving the history of the machines and the people who have made it the great sport that it is today."
