Any club member with a motorcycle that is 35 years old or older is eligible for judging at AMCA national meets. The Antique Club has established authenticity as the most important factor in determining quality of an antique motorcycle, i.e. “as it left the factory”. A great deal of time has been devoted to the development and refinement of a universal judging system as well as the training of a panel of qualified judges. Motorcycles compete against the judging form, not against other machines. In addition to the high-caliber judging awards for Junior, Senior and Winners’ Circle, recognition awards are also given for the oldest motorcycle on the field, for the three motorcycles ridden the greatest distance to the meet, Period-Modified, and for uniqueness, as considered by the judges.
