The Fifth Annual Fort Condé Show (2013)

The weather was perfect for a motorcycle show with cool temperatures and clear skies. Food was provided by Ernie's Barbecue.  As last year, we were relegated to the street behind the Museum of Mobile rather than inside the fort. We had 55 bikes entered in 13 classes.  Eight MBVMC club members volunteered to do the judging.  Framed certificates were awarded to the first 3 places in each class as listed below. A best of show trophy was awarded to Ronnie Cox and his 1913 H-D which was in fine running condition. The winners are listed below. You can see pictures of most of the bikes in the gallery. We think we have pictures of all of the bikes but if you see one we missed please send a picture of it to Jim Downey Jasdowney@gmail.com and he will add it.
