“Joe brings over 30 years motorcycle industry experience to the table. In addition to a vast list of industry contacts and working relationships, some spanning 5 decades, he has the fundamental trait that we all have at the Sturgis Museum and Hall of fame. That being the true passion for the industry and the desire to commemorate the companies and people that made this great sport what it is in 2010” says Christine Paige Diers, Executive Director of the museum.
Joe, always surrounding himself with the top people and organizations like The Sturgis Motorcycle Museum, ACCEL Motorcycle Products, International Master Bike Builders Association (IMBBA), and numerous others in the industry also recently entered into an agreement to partner with World Class Photographer Jack McIntyre and www.bikerpics.org. “This will be a great help in our efforts having Jack on board” Says Joe.
Joe will continue his duties at ACCEL and throughout the motorcycle industry and feels the addition of the Sturgis Motorcycle Museum to his portfolio is a win-win for all involved in his group. He will be attending the Hall of Fame Breakfast on August 11th as well and numerous other rally events at the Buffalo Chip and though out the Black Hills Region.
“I look forward to working with Christine and the Board of Directors at the Sturgis Motorcycle Museum and Hall of Fame. This is the opportunity of a lifetime and I intend to deliver the goods to help bring this already great organization to the next level” Says Joe D.
