As the COVID-19 pandemic continues to impact the world, motorcycling is of course not exempt. Unfortunately this is also happening at the start of the riding season for many of us, and our inboxes are bloated with notices of postponements, delays, cancelations, and closures. We have compiled a list of impacted races, events, and businesses to help keep things straight.

As everything is happening, we all understand the disappointment of not being able to attend an event you paid for; but please be patient with contacting organizers. Many of the businesses in our industry are small, family run, or single person operations. Requests for updates and refunds from companies or organizers may be delayed due to the volume of emails and phone calls they may be receiving.

Please remember to keep being kind to each other.
