172-0328-scene-moto2embeddedprod_affiliate36.jpg

When it comes to vintage motorcycles - at least for the Idaho Vintage Motorcycle Club’s annual rally and show -there are rules.To wit:-Unless it is no longer in production, a bike must be at least 20 years old to be entered.- No choppers or customs. Period customs may be OK, but they need the approval of the rally master. If a bike has extended forks or “chopper-type” artwork, don’t bother.- The rally master also must be consulted about bikes missing original parts, competition bikes and modern exotics.- All items at the swap meet must pertain to vintage motorcycles (parts, etc.). That means no Beanie Babies.All these rules have a purpose: Keeping the “vintage” in vintage motorcycle show, now in its 32nd year, and making the event a showcase for classic bikes as they came out of the factory.
