>>JUDGING @ WAUSEON<<

I wish the AMCA "Marque of Excellence Winners" feature was a little . . . deeper? more extensive?? The dozen or so bikes rated Excellent are only from 2022-24 and only four or five pictures of each. I would like to see more pictures of bikes as they left the factory. I am not "into" judging BUT it would be nice to see how details.

Reatored bike are judged to the condition they were in when they left the factory. ....

Don't forget the crate.

Restored bike are judged to the condition they were in when they left the factory. Your appears to be unrestored. The repaint will cost points as will the extra chrome and ratty seat.

Dear JoJo, there is a three week pre-entry deadline for judging registration which you may just have missed. Contact the Wauseon judging team and say you are planning to bring a late entry, which they should accept for a Harley. The lead time is to allow research on unusual entries and matching number checks so that all entries get a fair shake. The judging rules are posted on the Website and are worth reading. We judge only restored and unrestored bikes against a criterion of factory correct, so older restorations or repainted original machines take big hits. All bikes must run. If your bike is going in as restored then you will take a deduction on the seat for instance. All bikes start with 100 points in 25 categories of 4 points each, then the judges systematically go through to find variations from factory correct in each category, with a minimum deduction of a quarter point. Judges then score each variation but leave the addition of points to the administrators, lest they try to target a result. Owners are allowed to observe the judging process. Expect your bike to take a good thrashing from world class experts who know the details. There are running changes in 1946 on headstock frame angle, forks, fender braces and stainless trim, so this is a hard year to get right for judging, but whatever the result you have a nice riding motorcycle. Good luck.

Greetings. I plan on taking my H-D 1946 U Model to the 2025 AMCA Wauseon Meet. I haven't had anything judged in many M()()Ns. What is the skinny in a nutshell to have the '46 looked over? The reason i'm asking here on the forum is because the AMCA Judging website will not accept my login for some reason.

*Thank You.
