Dauphin Island Vintage Bike Competition 2012

Jillian entered her bike in it's second vintage competition... and should have placed!!

The first weekend of April we put the bike on the trailer and hauled it out to Dauphin Island for the show and made a nice little day of it right off the beach. We actually entered it in the correct category this time and I thought it had a great chance at winning at least 3rd place (there were some really nice bikes). It was a bit of a slap in the face at the end b/c the bike that won first place was a piece of garbage. It was rusted throughout and didn't even run. It was almost like the guy pulled it out of a trash pile and propped it up. It only won b/c it was really old and uncommon. Anyway, Jillian has recently ordered some additional stock parts online and hopes to have them on the bike for the next show. I really think she has a good shot at winning at the next time we go to Forte Conde.
Here are a couple shots of the show:
