Results from the Dauphin Island 2001 Show
We had perfect weather for the show with a refreshing breeze off the gulf and not a cloud in the sky. We had 82 bikes entered in the show which is a new record for the show which is now in its sixth year. The picture above shows Kent stocker with his 1947 Indian Chief (which he rode the 60 miles to the show). The Chief took Best of Show. The winners in the various classes are listed below. We raised over $1000 for the DI school with the show. The crowds were estimated to be near 500 at one point and I think that this was the biggest and best outing yet. Jim Kersting, a corresponding member drove down from North Judson Indiana and brought some great pieces including his 1922 Neracar shown below.
For more show pictures go to the picture gallery. The pictures have names which will give you an idea what they are. When I have more time I will try to arrange these a little better.
Here are the winners. I am sorry I could not get a picture of every winning bike but many are represented.

Of course we want to give our thanks to A&B Cycles (Mobile), D&D cycles (Pensacola), Mobile Bay Harley Davidson (Mobile), and Mobil RV Sales and Service (Mobile) for their generous donations to the trophy fund. Michele Steiner procured the Dauphin Island site for us and was also responsible for organizing the tent and the fine food. Gene Weir kindly volenteered to man the registration booth. All MBVMC members chipped in with the crowd control and made things run smoothly.
