Thus meeting the goal and mission of IMBBA as leaving this industry better than the way we found it through Education training and certification. Thank you Derek and Thunder Roads Ohio magazine for this valuable support. JUDGE’S TIPS Brought to you by: Man, Look at that paint!, and that Chrome. Check this out! This is cool too! All these travel in the minds of the observers who attend bike shows. For many it’s all the eye candy one can take in. and for others it is to see what’s what, who’s doing what and to get ideas for the next project, or to look for the next shop to build your ideas into motorcycle. But for the Judges, it is a check point, while you as the builder may have spent countless hours staring at your creation in bare metal and form. Judges get a snapshot and spend many moments making sure it meets IMBBA global Standards of fit, form, function and safety. If it does, scores move up incrementally as each consideration is identified by that standard and entered in categories that meet the criteria to be a motorcycle. With that said. IMBBA has in its criteria, Engineering, Fabrication and Originality, INTERNATIONAL MASTER BIKE BUILDERS ASSOCIATION All Rights reserved 2005-2015 INTERNATIONAL MASTER BIKE BUILDERS ASSOCIATION Page while most are unaware at the scoring. It is this standard that all bikes must meet. So a helpful tip to score well under these global standards would be to hold each attribute, each part in your hand and before assembling it, ask the question???? Does this meet Fit, Form Function and safety? If it does, you’re bound to score well. GOOD LUCK AND SEE YA AT OUR NEXT SHOW! I can never thank all those who have added value, sacrifice and time from their busy shops and even those retired from the business who donated trophies, cash and or their valuable time that has got us to say WOW 10 years! So much contributed to the IMBBA growth, now global in 14 countries and this year we toppled our five year average of 1600 + members to now 1720. With now judging over 13 shows globally, I see great things for the next ten years thanks to all who have contributed their time, money and expertise not to mention influence within our profession. I say we can stay true to our mission thanks in part to all of you by “leaving the industry better than the way we found it through education, training and certification”. I am extremely proud of our Hall of Fame inductees and the value system of recognition we use. This has made the job of our Board of Directors easier and allows for a clearer vision and voting. Then there are the judges who without their help and eagerness and dedication to seeing an honest system of judging has help promoters to see the value IMBBA can bring to the table. And a special thanks to Power Sports Institute for help spreading the word and encourage our next generation of Mechanics by using IMBBA courses and influence. Special thanks and recognition I know you all will agree, is the tenacity, professional skills and Can-do attitude and determination exhibited by Jean Starke, my wife. For without her encouraging me to get it done and do it right we still be in the Stone Age. Looking now towards the next ten years we can only hope to surpass the first ten years. Thanks everyone and Happy 10th!
