Biloxi 2019

We had a most unusual fall. All of October was unusually hot and it seemed that that great fall weather that Mobile is famous for was never going to come.  Then in November a strong cold front brought winter-like weather that continued day after day. Amazingly the weather warmed as show day approached and it was sunny and warm for the 2019 show. Turn out was good with 73 bikes entered. All classes were full.  We had hundreds of spectators and everyone seemed to have a good time. below is a break down of the winners and some pictures. Pictures of all of the bikes can be seen in the gallery
