Irvine, Calif. (June 23, 2009) – The Cycle World International Motorcycle Shows will offer those in attendance at the Red Bull U.S. Grand Prix, Friday, July 3 through Sunday, July 5, the chance to say thank you to our men and women of the armed forces. Race fans are invited to film a short video message to send to a friend or relative in the armed forces or a general thank you message to U.S. Troops stationed at home and abroad. Video recordings can be made at the International Motorcycle Show’s booth in the Yamaha Marketplace at Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca throughout the weekend.

“The Cycle World International Motorcycle Shows wants to show their appreciation to the men and women who defend our country and we know a lot of people out there want to as well,” said Show Director Jeff D’Entremont. “These brave men and women oversees greatly appreciate such messages of thanks and we hope that thousands of race fans stop by our booth to take part.”

The videos will be edited and published on Motorcycleshows.com and Sportbikeclub.com. For more information, log on to www.motorcycleshows.com/motogp.
