The AMCA Board of Directors has long recognized the need for a centralized source of information and technical data about the antique motorcycles that AMCA members own, restore and ride today...that were built before most of us were born! A member often needed to look far and wide to find accurate information about a particular bike he was working on and our AMCA judges had no definitive resource at bike shows to consult about period-correct restorations
