Marque Excellence award

[LouieMCman]

Just wondering if this award is for restored bikes only? I was speaking about the award with an AMCA officer and got the distinct feeling that my class 1 winners circle UNRESTORED bike was not wanted for the award? And yes its old and crusty and not real pretty but is a 98 point bike, so are all 98 point bikes wanted or just the shiny ones? And by the way my bike is a rider and I don't get the no start rule for winners circle, weren't we supposed to judge them out then enjoy them by riding them?

Louie;
Yours is the 1915 Miami? VERY NICE BIKE. IMO I am probably the wrong person to respond as I know squat about judging. I just know what I like (Which is old bikes with engines)
Here is a link to the AMCA MEA site:

This is sort "Kicking the Beehive" as there are a lot of strong opinion's on the subject.
Me I'm easy: I "Round Up"

Yes my '15 Miami is my new red one and the '16 is my old blue one that I've had for decades, neither are judging quality...someone has to kick the beehive every now and then...
