2002 Best of Show Winner, Trey Coley
This is a ride-in Bike Show. Anyone can enter any number of bikes (at $10 each), provided you ride each bike into the show registration area. Everyone at the show can vote for their favorite bike for People's Choice Best of Show, but please only vote one ballot slip!
The bike ridden to the show from the farthest verifiable address will win the Furthest Ridden-In Entry award. Too many of us tie for shortest ridden-in entry. The decision of the show judges is final.
Sky Valley Chapter, ABATE of Washington, is the show sponsor and runs the registration, ballots, and prize distribution.

Showing and balloting is from 12 noon until 1:30 pm.

Beginning in 2005, most categories have changed to judged competition.
Best of Show is determined by ballot count.
Furthest Ridden Entry is based on distance, not votes.
All other categories are judged.
Sky Valley Chapter ABATE selects the panel of impartial judges based on knowledge of workmanship, knowledge of paint and finish techniques, knowledge of styles and periods of history, and integrity.
To assist in proper judging, assistants will be on hand during registration to ensure that each bike is entered in the appropriate category. Click here for category descriptions.
