 The People Choice award, chosen by the public, went to Wendell Cooper and his just restored 1973 Honda SL 70
 The Best British Class was extremely close, and had several almost perfect bikes. when all the votes were counted,and re-counted, The winner (by 1 vote) was Steve Pieratt and his Twin Engine 1974 Bonneville (2nd place went to David Hurst and his 1966 Triumph Bonneville TT Special)
We had a repeat winner in the Best American Class. It was won again this year by Ted Bortner and his 1946 Indian Chief. (2nd place went to Charlie Cox's 59 Cushman Eagle)
Kent Trimble took the top spot in the Best Japanese Class with his super clean 1973 Suzuki GT-750 Lemans. (2nd place was Charles Gault's 1969 Bridgestone 350 GTR)

The Best European Class showcased some incredible machinery, and Clark Stewarts 1966 Benelli won by 3 votes. Truly a beautiful bike. (2nd place was Chris Howard's 74 Moto Guzzi V-7 Sport)
