Ohio is to host an exhibition of vintage Japanese motorcycles over the weekend and biking enthusiasts from across the region are expected to flock to attend.

Pickerington's Motorcycle Hall of Fame Museum is to hold Japanese Motorcycle Saturday on June 3rd, which will last all day and include seminars, exhibitions and a bike show, while bikers will also be able to take their own classic Japanese models along.

According to museum executive director Mark Mederski, those who attend the exhibition will be able to adjudge how the various models evolved, as well as getting the opportunity to attend forums on how best to look after their own Japanese bikes.
