Started on cleaning up my garage and tossed or packed up stuff like these. Not sure they belong in the trash just yet.
Many places across America have towns small and large where businesses that participated in what’s called BIKE NIGHT. My hometown is one of them. Events were held usually once a month and at some business place that was typically a food establishment.
The picture below represents most of my success of trophy winnings from about 2011 to 2016 where sponsor (A local Wonderer’s Bike club) would have attendees judge and sponsors judge on varios things and hand out about 8 trophies during the evening.
Some places were Arby's, Feather Falls Casino, Dennies, Lube oil place and a favorite burger place.
Now granted most bikes were Harley Davidsons but I rode bikes that offered up something different like old vintage smaller bikes and unusual newer bikes and often won a trophy for the “ODD DUCK” mainly to give to the non-Harley riders like me.
ODD DUCK awards were on 1977 Yamaha RD400 (many old Harley rider had one when young), 1987 VFR400R, Yamaha FZ-09 and a 1988 Super Magna V-4 750.
Other trophies were for a low mile 1979 CB650, an HD 883R, and my clean 1989 Hawk GT.
Lack of sponsors or interest or the club got tires of doing it, not sure why they stopped. Really miss them as it offered me a chance to see other modded bikes (Like Choppers), stock bikes (Rune comes to mind) and rare bikes (Ariel Square 4 , knew about it never saw one).
