David L. Hough has been named  to be inducted into the Motorcycle Hall of Fame this year.

"Motorcycling is potentially very risky, and it's potentially reasonably safe," Hough said.  "The difference is whether you take it seriously or not.  It's only cheap if you stay out of the hospital."

"For many new motorcyclists, before they take a training course or even buy a motorcycle, they are introduced to proper riding through the books and columns of David Hough," said Rob Dingman, president and CEO of the American Motorcyclist Association.  His comprehensive approach to proper riding techniques has pointed many motorcyclists -- novice and veteran alike -- down the right path, and has helped riders learn the skills they need to be safer on the road.  The Hall of Fame induction is a unique honor from an association that primarily honors racers and big-name stunt riders."
