The American Motorcycle Heritage Foundation has enacted changes for the AMA Motorcycle Hall of Fame that increase the Hall of Fame's inclusiveness.
The changes include:
A Highly Qualified Candidate category that will empower the independent Hall of Fame Selection Committees to nominate candidates whose accomplishments have taken place outside the public eye but have played a significant role in motorcycling.
Starting with the Hall of Fame Class of 2016, all AMA Life Members with at least 25 consecutive years of membership will be invited to vote for Hall of Fame inductees. This includes all AMA Charter Life Members and paid AMA Life Members who have at least 25 consecutive years of membership.

After all, the two actors have ridden across the majority of the globe, through countries not exactly known for their plush accommodations. In 2004 the two rode and camped literally around the world-eastward from London through Europe, Ukraine, Russia, Kazakhstan, Mongolia and the U.S.-for a documentary film and book titled Long Way Round. More recently they rode BMW R1200GSs south from the upper tip of Scotland to the lower tip of Africa, pretty much by themselves and without the massive support crew you might imagine.
