Motorcycle Show

[DIGGER]

I posted on the Texas Board and now I'm asking the General Board.....

Has anyone entered a Valkyrie in a motorcycle antique/Classic Show?

I entered my '97 Tourer last year. Had to be 25+ years old. I liked it but the voting didn't go my way. They should have had a class for 40+ years. I might have had a chance.

Good try.  Been thinking about it in some small shows around here

Normand from Montreal won best is show at Americade one year and Best Valkyrie another year (dont remember which came first but I was there both years to see it

His Valk (think it was a tourer) was a kind of custom burnt orange, stainless brake lines, corbin side covers and just totally immaculate

Somewhere I have a pic but cant locate it

I visit a few vintage/antique motorcycle/car shows a year.  With older machines though; mother Honda was really good at paint in the days of our Valkyries and they just don't look 25 plus years old.

But I do find most of these shows kind of pretentious.  A lot of the owners are into the "show", and not so much the "go".  But that is another aspect of the hobby.  So, I typically will just roll up to the show in a vintage machine and just enter the show area.  Typically they want one to enter once parked in the show, I just walk around a bit taking in the beautiful machines, and then leave.  Front row parking without the fees and hassle.
