CLASS DEFINITIONS
Best Restoration
These are bikes that are painstakingly restored to their original condition. Considerations include paint, mechanics & accessories original to the bike when produced.
Best Survivor
These are un-restored motorcycles that represent the period of the date of manufacture. Sure, there may be non-original parts on the bike or a backyard paint job, but the bike as a whole should represent what one could find around the period of the motorcycle's production. Synonyms include "barn find", "original", and "old hunk of junk"
Custom/Modified
Any motorcycle, of any age, that has been modified for performance reasons, as a piece of art, or to a builder's creative vision.
