Our town had it’s annual community days with a car and motorcycle show. I decided to ride my bikes down and exhibit the with the big bikes. I didn’t enter them, but there was a lot of good comments from the spectators
Local show
- Thread starter Oldbiscuit
- Start date
That's a great looking stable of bikes ya got there, Oldbiscuit
I got a couple car and M/c show stories to share
I always like to ride my Whizzer M/B to car & M/C shows too.
There are many around my local area in SOCAL
Back in 2014 I rode my Whizzer to a local Car and M/C show and parked it by my friends 1970 Challenger who was entered in the show
As the judges were walking around judging the M/Cs and came to my Whizzer they asked "Who's bike is this it doesn't have a registration card on it" I said "it's my bike and it's not entered"
The judge said "too bad nice bike" After a while one of the judges came back and asked me questions about my Whizzer. I told him it was a Repop Whizzer Made in Taiwan that I had rebuilt. As the judge was walking away he said " It's still not to late to enter" I took that as a hint Paid the $20 and entered my Whizzer. When it was time to call out the M/C trophies
First was Best Modern Harley
Second was Best Vintage Harley
Third was Best Metric Cruiser and they called out my Whizzer.
This was a fun day as my friends 1970 Challenger won Best of Show. We both came home winners.
I always like to talk with the Old timers who admire my Whizzer They tell me stories of when they had a Whizzer
My friend Ed 1970 Challenger won Best of Show We both came home winners.
This was a fun day
At another car show in Temecula CA 2011. I was told by several people to bring my Whizzer to the After the Show "Show us your Wheels" Where anything with wheels could enter.
Entry was free and I entered my Whizzer. This was another fun day
When it was time to give out the Trophies the announcer said " We have something her that is so cool were going to give it a Runners up Prize" They called out my Whizzer and gave me a his and hers gift basket of Harley apparel.
Once again I have the most fun talking to old timers who had a Whizzer when they were young

I was told by the sponsees that if I would pay a $20 entry for each I would probably win a trophy, but I didn’t feel like paying to have people admire the bikes.
Wrench, I can imagine the fellas seeing your Whizzer and going down memory lane.
Steve.
Steve.
Yea I know what ya mean, I would never think of entering a show just to have people admire my bike. I walk around with my Whizzer because these shows are about 1/4 mile long
I just park my bike in different areas and it becomes part of the show. That's the most fun.
I've had my Whizzer for 16 years and I ride her to 3 or 4 shows every year in my local area.
But that one show the judge was hinting pretty hard that I should enter so I did Just for fun.
She got her pic in the paper too. I treasure that Trophy. It was a total surprise.
Talking to the Old Timers is the most fun for me I love to listen to their stories.
I usually park the bike and pretend like it's not mine at first just to hear then discribe what it is Then I tell em that it's my bike and start it up for em.
Car shows in my area have been canceled last year and so far this year because of COVID
All this talk of car shows i can't wait until they start back up in my area.

They have started up back here again, Back to the Fifty's was on again, although vender count was down there was still 11,000+ cars entered. Like Wrench said think they were hunger for some action. I was going to rent a mobility scooter, but got there to late, 80 year old bones had to walk it all............Curt
