Ricky Graham in Elkhart Lake Harley 883 Race

Ricky Graham leads Richard Koehler and Jay Springsteen through Road America’s famous turn five in front of a big crowd during the Harley-Davidson 883 Twin Sport race in June of 1993. The Motor Company was in the midst of a period of rapid growth had a massive celebration for its 90th Anniversary, which included a mass ride from Milwaukee out to Road America. The arrival of the Harley faithful, along with the normally big Elkhart Lake crowd, brought perhaps the largest attendance in the history of AMA road races at Road America, as this photo illustrates. Graham, who road raced infrequently, finished a solid fourth in this race behind the podium trio of Scott Zampach, Shawn Higbee and Mike Hale.
