Somehow from the ad I get the impression bikes from 86-90 have less chance of winning....

The entry form doesn't give you much of a chance to say what you actually did, does it? I built my A100 up from boxes but out sourced the paint, powder coating, chroming etc. The engine was rebuilt by me, although my uncle rebuilt the crank and rebored the barrel - so did I really do the engine? Electrics, well apart from changing a few connectors and following the diagram plugging everything in I didn't do an awful lot. Can't really tick many boxes I don't think? But I do go from a pile of bits to a nice looking tiddler

Scott I don't think they would expect you to do specialist stuff like chroming, powder coating etc. I just think they don't want boys who just get a bike restored to order like yer man of the Motorcycle Show. I'm surprised at seeming lack of interest on here though there are definitely bikes in with a shout I think and it would also be good advertising for the forum even if they didn't win.

Can't really believe it but I got an email today saying that the little A100 has only gone and got into the top ten shortlist!!! Never thought I had any chance...a photographer is going to be contacting me soon for a photoshoot and interview
