New AMCA News!
presented by
The Youth Program of The Antique Motorcycle Club of America, Inc.
in association with
The AMCA Foundation, Inc.
If you or someone you know is between 18 and 25 years old, here is an opportunity to win and rebuild a 1940s era Harley-Davidson WLA motorcycle project! The youth program of the Antique Motorcycle Club of America is running a contest this year that will give away a 1942 Harley Davidson bobber project.
Matt Olsen of the Youth Program of The Antique Motorcycle Club of America ® is the young man behind this proposal. “As classic motorcycles become more rare and expensive it is getting tougher for young people to afford them,” Olsen explained. “Knowing how frustrating this can be, I decided to try something to help encourage young people like me to better understand, preserve and enjoy classic bikes and possibly to own one.” Olsen approached The AMCA Foundation, Inc. to fund this special program and has spent more than a year developing the project and finding members of the A.M.C.A. to donate the parts to build a Harley-Davidson WLA bobber.
The contest is limited to young Americans (guys and gals and
they don’t have to be a member!) between the ages of 18 than 25. They simply
have to write and submit a 1,000 word essay describing what they hope to learn
about classic bikes, why they want the bike, what they plan to do with it once
the build is completed, and any other reasons why they feel they should win this
motorcycle. The entry must be received by Matt Olsen at amcayouthprogram@hotmail.com
no later than August 15th 2009.
The one lucky winner will be selected at the Antique Motorcycle Super Meet in
Davenport, Iowa in 2009 by a committee made up of the people that donated the
parts and supporters. But wait, there’s more. In addition to the
Harley-Davidson WLA motorcycle, the lucky winner will also win a grant from the
AMCA Foundation of up to $5,000 for parts and travel and living expenses to
spend up to two months shop time at Carl’s Cycle Supply in scenic Aberdeen,
South Dakota. This will allow the winner to learn how to put his or her new
motorcycle together under the watchful eye of trained professionals.
The title and paperwork for the motorcycle will be given to the winner after the
motorcycle has been started and ridden a few miles. The builder will also have
the opportunity for the bike’s restoration and assembly process to be featured
in a series of tech articles in Iron Horse magazine. Once finished, the
bike and new owner will be photographed and featured in various magazines,
including American Iron Magazine as well as The Antique Motorcycle®
so that others may share in theadventure of owning and restoring a classic
motorcycle.
