Motorcycle show

[hukmut]

Hi group!    Tomorrow I will be traveling to Dauphin Island to enter my bike (1999 Valkyrie) to show it in a somewhat local (MS,AL,FL, GA) motorcycle show. There are several classes, two of which seems to fit my bike. The American Cruiser, and the Metric Cruiser. Which class should I use?
Last year this bike was entered in the metric cruiser c!ass. Now, I know my bike is no beauty queen, but the show is for a good cause and I really have no expectations of winning anything. You know, it is all about the ride anyway. One hundred and eight miles one way from my house.
Thoughts?


Ride safe and see you in Morgantown.

I believe in this context, the Valk would be a Metric Cruiser,  even though it was made in Ohio...

The division language basically references "Harley/Indian "  as American and "every other foreign company"  as metric.

Good luck with the show, and remember theirs also usually a people's choice award too.

The weather was perfect, food was good, music as well. Good turnout of bikes. Over $3500 was raised for the PTO.
Who needs a "class"?


Ride safe, see you in Morgantown.

If your 99 has the made in America (USA) on the engine , then enter it as such. It is always  fun to mess with  the  twinkies. Unless we get some different customers at the bike  shop ,  I do not   get  many comments about the Valk.
  Congrats ,  keep showing .

Hukmut, you have got to post a pic here.
It's not fair if the folks at the show get to see it, but not us.

I know that it does not have the "Made in USA" stamped onto the engine case. HOWEVER,   it WAS assembled in Wiggins,MS. Took me 9 months of acquiring the parts and fitting them at least 3 times before I knew they were gonna work properly. Yeah, sure, I know, could a just BOUGHT me an already built Valkyrie, but you know and I know that there is  certain kind of satisfaction that comes from "doing it yourself".    Nuthin' like riding a collection of parts that you assembled down the road .  And, the best part, I could NOT have done it without this great bunch of guys on this forum.
AND,  I got to meet these folks on my test ride from Wiggins to  Spearfish.



Ride safe and see you in Morgantown!
