AWARDS
To be judged, a motorcycle must be registered and have a completed placard placed in front of the bike for the judges to see. A trophy for each class will be presented to the entrant in the winner's Circle. The judges will collectively choose candidates for the best-of-show award and present their selections to the head judge. The final decision will be made by the head judge.
