Скачать или смотреть Terry Cunningham: AMA Motorcycle Hall of Fame Class of 2018

Terry Cunningham was inducted into the AMA Motorcycle Hall of Fame during the 2018 American Honda AMA Motorcycle Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony on Dec. 7 at the Hilton Columbus/Polaris in Columbus, Ohio.

Cunningham is a champion off-road rider who played a significant role in the growth of off-road racing in the United States in the 1980s. His efforts anchored the success of the Husqvarna Motorcycle Company throughout the decade.

"For me, it began with a fishing trip to Canada and my Uncle Bud buying a motorcycle to go back and forth to the general store," Cunningham said. "Through his friends at work, it then became a weekend riding event that eventually turned into riding local enduros in southern Ohio. My dad wanted to do what his brother was doing, so he bought a Honda Super 90 and, unbeknownst to us all, history was in the making!"

The four-time AMA Grand National Enduro Champion faced off against some of the greatest riders in America during his career, including AMA Motorcycle Hall of Famers Dick Burleson, Randy Hawkins, Larry Roeseler, Scott Summers and Jeff Fredette. Cunningham won the title in 1982, and then again in 1984, 1985 and 1986.

His other awards included six International Six Days Enduro gold medals and a silver medal. He also was a member of the American 1982 ISDE team that finished second overall against the best off-road riders in the world.

Cunningham's Hall of Fame ring was presented by AMA Motorcycle Hall of Fame Legend Dick Burleson.
