The following press release is regarding the International Moto Collective, a project to develop an international motorcycle museum in Anaheim, California:
Fullerton, CA January 25, 2019–A group of motorcycle industry executives and insiders got together on Friday, January 19th at the Double Tree hotel in Anaheim to learn about and discuss the development of a new motorcycle-themed museum and event center to be located in or near Anaheim, California, and its’ included Anaheim Resorts and Platinum Triangle. The project is called The International Moto Collective (IMC) and was created and developed by two motorcycle industry veterans, film and TV producer/director Todd Huffman and Vintage Iron’s Rick Doughty. The two have been working on the project together for over three years.
The International Moto Collective will be an attraction with a “collective” of pieces from the great private and corporate motorcycle collections from all over Southern California and the rest of the country and perhaps world. These wonderful machines and related memorabilia will be housed in a facility open to the public and available to rent as an event center for parties, weddings, product introductions, meetings, etc.
“It was great to unveil this project for the public and the industry that Rick and I have been developing for over three years,” said Todd Huffman, Director and Producer at Pipeline Digital Media (PDM) who created “The Motocross Files” TV series on Speed. “And, with the tourism growth in Anaheim and Orange County it’s a natural for this project to be located here.”
(Doughy noted the abundance of machines and memorabilia that is located in the Southern California region where the International Moto Collective would be located–editor)
“There are so many unique and important motorcycles in private collections all over that will finally be available for the public to enjoy from all over the world,” said Doughty, owner of Vintage Iron and one of the country’s leading motorcycle restoration experts.
The goal of the meeting on Friday was to present the project to OE manufacturers, aftermarket companies, media outlets, motorcycle governing bodies and more for feedback on overall concept and possible uses for this new facility that will support and highlight the sport of motorcycling.
“I thought the presentation Todd and Rick put together was comprehensive and well thought out,” said Eddie Cole, Managing Director at Group 6 USA and an industry veteran. “This project would be very important to our industry once it’s completed.
“Our industry needs a facility like this to find new riders and create enthusiasts who can support all facets of the motorcycling culture,” said Richard Varner, CFO and Partner of MotoAmerica. “We feel the concept and rationale for the location near Anaheim Resorts is spot on.”
