Antique Motorcycle Club of America Announces New Custom Culture Class..

AMCA Unveils Its New Custom Culture Class

April 05, 2010

Motorcycles have always been a form of personal expression. And that's something the Antique Motorcycle Club of America is celebrating with a new exhibition class of bike judging at a pair of National meets this year.

In addition to the club's normal classes for beautifully restored classics, perfectly preserved original condition machines and period-correct modified bikes, two of this year's AMCA Nationals will feature a special Custom Culture Class, designed to highlight ways that motorcyclists express themselves through their machines.

The class will focus specifically on the era of the 1960s and early '70s, when the custom-bike movement blossomed across the United States. And it was prompted by the Club's successful Basket-Case Contest, in which young riders wrote essays in an effort to win a collection of parts from an authentic 1942 Harley-Davidson WLA model-the bike used by U.S. armed forces in World War II-plus the chance to assemble those parts into a bobber-style custom under the guidance of experts.
