Topic: AMCA judging Yankee meet

[Keith]

I am home from the AMCA Yankee meet in Greenfield, MA. I did not do well at all. Previously I received 95 points at the Rhinebeck, NY show, so I expected more than 89.5 this time. Sunrise orange flakes in paint is wrong…even when It’s original Honda paint. It has orange peel. Yep, they did. Luster on reproduction controls is wrong…”ever see a K2 signal switch with the horn beeper cancel button reproduced?” I asked. Or the handlebar clamp with flash- oil-neut- beam reproduced?” Ok, sure. Oh well, I will live!

Ummm, yeah.  AMCA is not known for their expertise with CB750's, or most other Japanese machinery.  That's just a generalization.  Certainly there are some members about that "get it".  And what can you expect really?  The world of vintage motorcycles is so incredibly diverse, how can we really expect some random group of volunteer "experts" to be able to authoritatively judge all this minute detail?
