SHOW CLASSIFICATIONS & PRIZES
Our primary aim is to infuse the show with a diverse array of cool creations, providing a platform for everyone to showcase and compete. We welcome bikes at various levels of customization.
​
The classifications listed below serve as examples of the classes typically featured, but the exact classes are subject to the entries received. While we strive to accommodate all entries, if a class receives fewer than three entries and cannot be combined with another, your entry fee will be refunded. You'll still be entitled to keep the two free weekend passes, and you're encouraged to leave your bike on display for the weekend.
​
Motorcycle show administrators will assign final classifications, aiming to compare bikes with similar levels of customization within a class. Depending on the entry count, a classification may be further divided into sub-classifications. For instance, Euro-Asian Custom may be subdivided into Radical, Custom, and Mild.
​
If at least three entries are not received in a particular class, we reserve the right to combine dissimilar classes at the discretion of the Show judges.
​
During drop-off day, feel free to discuss your bike's classification with the show administrators. However, after that day, all classifications become final.
​
Regarding judging, we emphasize a custom motorcycle show, and the assessment is based on observable modifications and alterations that judges can empirically qualify by visually examining the bike on the floor. Unseen alterations to the motor and previous show history are not considered. Your bike will be evaluated across 10 categories, including Paint, Chrome, Upholstery, Electrical, Fabrication/Customization, Safety, Engine, Originality, Fit & Finish, and Overall Appeal.
