VOLUME XXXXIV
OCTOBER 15, 2015
Monte Chiari, ITALY – IMBBA was again invited back to judge the Rombo-Di Tuono motorcycle builders
competition. Nestled in a community just outside Brescia. This competition, was unique in that the builders
are for the most part members
of the Federation of Italian
Customizers (FIC) and or IMBBA
members. The show was
surprising and in keeping with
the spirit and passion known
globally
of
the
Italian
customizers where, the planet’s
products in transportation,
fashion and styling have earned
them that distinction. However,
the show still came with many
surprises. Over 77 motorcycles
from cities all over Italy, arrived
(L to R) IMBBA President, Jeff Starke FIC President Mauricio, and Rombo Di Tuono Promoter and Low Ride Magazine Corrado
to enjoy the hospitality of the shows promoter Corrado of Low Ride magazine. Participants and enthusiasts
filled several convention center display auditoriums. Live bands, exhibitions, vendors, 50-60’s custom
American cars and a smorgasbord of many swap meet vendors that would rival any swap meets seen in the
states. The show takes on an air of our USA shows of the last decade where the American icons of years gone
by remained immortal.

The Federation of Italian Customizers (FIC) carries a weight to guiding and organizing the Italian professional
and is in partnership with IMBBA who validates the professionals in Italy through FIC for international
certification. Their new President, Mauricio, welcomed IMBBA
and offered assistance and guidance for their FIC/IMBBA
members at the show. During this event IMBBA and FIC were
able to find time to meet with the FIC board members and
discuss future growth and their possible participation in 2016
IMBBA World Competition being held in Dubai, UAE, during the
Emirates Bike Festival 3.
This year’s competition was extremely tight and difficult
judging. The competition, in this show, uses a different
classification that IMBBA’s global standard and because the
international variety of motorcycles and manufacturers IMBBA
was able to adjust to the identity and history of the generations
of motorcycles and was a learning experience that over the last
four years of IMBBA judging their show we have a better
understanding on a larger global level where to fit all the different styles and their unique differences. You can
say this show is helping to write the standard.
Also, this year we seen the arrival in the competition to the American Bagger style now with the Italian
twists and creativity.
The Italian customizers goes all out in the displays for their bikes and products. Much of their work is
reminiscent to America’s culture of the 1980-90’s.

provides more horsepower to the show with more cash awards while preserving the

know that they truly achieved something – being judged by the best, against some of the
best.”
“The I-X Piston Powered Auto-Rama is certainly one of the best values of any car

JUDGE’S TIPS
Brought to you by:
The underside of your bike has and will always be a point of contention. While many feel
it is a game changer in the competition at a bike show. Remember ignoring the underside of your
bike can costs points. While many
promoters believe it is a ride-in
functionally operating motorcycle
competition, we do not take points
away for scratches or chips in the paint
in these areas during judging. We still
do look at the undercarriage of the
motorcycle. So don’t assume that that
is the brunt of inspection. Be sure it
doesn’t reveal oil leaks, lines that are
damaged from trailering your bike or
bottoming out with road obstacles.
Ensure that the underside is corrosion
free (unless you are an antique
motorcycle). And that any cables, wires and the like are not dragging or loose with no fasteners.
Doing this can pick you up a point here and there over the competition and leave you “MISSunderstanding” the results. Good Luck at your next show.

Celebrating our 10th Anniversary in Sturgis was a
mile stone for me in seeing everyone come to the
Celebration and be there to see our Hall of Fame
members inducted. This is a good signal that the
efforts of all is not lost and is growing.
With the advent of our second Bike Show in Dubai and
four years Judging Italy six years Judging in Canada and
the many other countries Builders coming onboard to
make the Global Standard for Bike Show Competition
and Builder Certification has come full circle and I want
to thank the Board of Directors for their support and
everyone who as members has been there through the
years helping IMBBA succeed.
While it has been 10 short years and time has gone
by fast. I am reminded that I am also coming up on a five-year journey in Freemasonry and
will if elected this fall become the Worshipful Master of my Lodge. An equal honor to being
the President of IMBBA for ten years. Therefore, I have to ask once again the Board of
Directors and the Judges globally to come together and assist IMBBA in the many Bike Shows
coming up in 2016. This year in office with Mandarin Lodge #343 in Jacksonville, Florida
requires my upmost attention. As such, I need everyone’s support so not to lose the
momentum we have all worked so hard to achieve and keep the reputation solid in the
industry that these first ten years have accomplished. I will of course be available and support
everywhere I can, as long as it doesn’t take me from these duties and obligation. Thank you
one and all for your attention to these matters. And I look forward to 2016 and beyond with
IMBBA.
