[shameless self-promotion]
My scooter club showed our scooters at the Antique Motorcycle show today in Queens, NY. I got second place against 2 Heinkels. Not too shabby. Lots of cool old motorcycles as well.

Unfortunately, no. She did have it showing though. This show is more for the older scooter and motorcycles. Maybe if she had an ET4, she would have had more consideration. Razz emoticon

It was a nice day and we all had a good time.

Nice job!

I would encourage anyone with a Vintage scooter to enter a show. A couple of us have entered a few car and bike shows. We have always had really fun days when we did!

Very nice, bud.

I don't know what kind of display you have for that bike of yours, but you should try to collect some provenance for the bike... the antique / collector guys love that shit.

For example, i have the original owners manual and spare parts manual for my GS160. ( scored them on ebay.co.uk ) A big binder full of production photos of your bike before and after also helps. Also period advertisements and technical info from journals or period reviews of the bike. ( i have all this for my SS180 )

Put all that on a stand in front of the bike so people can get more background of your bike... stuff like that. You'll win it next time.
