Radermacher says, “I am honored and excited to be chosen to be President of the Board of the Antique Motorcycle Foundation. Dennis Craig has done a fantastic job building an organization with a unified mission and vision that positively promotes the culture and history of motorcycles through exhibits, conferences, and grants. With our skillful and talented directors, we are now poised to reach out to even more of the antique motorcycle community in order to further deliver our mission and to bolster the financial resources of the foundation.”
