Sorry it is not what you think it is, but after hearing some of the comments from a few AMCA members(since I am a member. I will not be naming names.) I figured it is time to get even and I will be showing my 1972 CB350 and maybe 1965 Benly at the AMCA meet in Rhinebeck, New York. So instead of getting mad I would appreciate some help in getting even. If you are an AMCA member and you do have a Judgeable Japanese bike and do plan to attend the meet in Rhinebeck bring it. If you are not member show up to the meet anyways on a Japanese Bike. It is about time the Japanese bikes get the respect some respect. The AMCA meet at Rhinebeck,NY is june 13-15.

I agree, it is time to step up and show what you own to those who have shown theres for many years and had 1/2 the cycle and got all the credit.

It is indeed rare to see a Japanese bike compete at AMCA National events.

At the 2008 AMCA Wauseon, Ohio event, we were surprised to see that there was only ONE Japanese
bike out of the 86 entered. One.

It belonged to Roger Smith, from Michigan and was a 1966 Suzuki X-6. It
won placement into the AMCA's highest category - The AMCA Winners Circle.

Maybe the intense AMCA Judging is intimidating? Their Judges are very thorough, compared
to other events that have "walk arounds", by the "Judges" to see which bike they like best.

Here is the link to the AMCA's Judging system with a link to their Judging Rule Book
that can be printed out if your interested -

ONE JAPANESE MOTORCYCLE AT AN A.M.C.A.
NATIONAL EVENT IS A SHAME.

ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU FIGURE HOW MANY MILLIONS
OF JAPANESE BIKES ARE AROUND.

THIS EBAY HONDA DEALER POSTER REALLY SAYS IT ALL -


http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Honda-100-Million-Customer-Thank-You-Poster-Languages_W0QQitemZ110283624659QQcmdZViewItem?hash=item110283624659&_trkparms=39%3A1%7C65%3A1%7C240%3A1318&_trksid=p4506.c0.m245

IT SHOWS A POSTER FROM MR. HONDA CONGRATULATING
THE HONDA DEALERS FOR SELLING 100,000,000 HONDA'S
BACK IN 1976. A HUNDRED MILLION OVER
THIRTY YEARS AGO.

HOW MANY ARE AROUND NOW? AND WHEN YOU ADD IN ALL
THE YAMAHA'S, SUZUKI'S AND KAWASAKI'S, THE NUMBER
OF OUR BIKES IS OVERWHELMING TO SAY THE LEAST.
