The restorer, collector, and owner all seek the approval of their peers. My feeling, however, is that most of the impetus causing an individual to display a motorcycle or enter a judged show, if not to gain special recognition, is to at a minimum have his or her work validated (and judged acceptable) by other knowledgeable collectors and the public. By this we mean that the restorer wants to have someone say, in effect, “You did a good job restoring that,” or “That’s a nice motorcycle.” This is not to deny that many owners want to altruistically share their motorcycles or cars with others, for their benefit and pleasure. The key reason owners/restorers bring old motorcycles (or old cars) to events, to compete for awards, or seek to display them, is essentially validation. ![]()
