AWARDS

To be judged, a motorcycle must be registered and have a completed placard placed on or 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.

​

Judging standards follow these guidelines:

- 1980 vintage and earlier preferred, except for the eBike class.  No bike will be rejected based on year

- Antique class has been eliminated for 2025

- All motorcycles should be restored to factory stock condition or non-restored survivor condition

- Motorcycles are not required to run, but judges will give extra points for a running machine
