The Barber Vintage Festival is arguably the most famous, largest and best vintage motorcycle event in the world (with the Bull City Rumble coming in at a close 2nd or 3rd ;) The event does a comprehensive job of covering all facets of motorcycling including collecting, restoring, racing and riding vintage motorbikes. The 13th edition of the event will take place on October 6, 7 and 8, 2017 and you can be certain that Ton Up NC will have a strong presence at the event as they have since the first edition of Barber Vintage.
Aside from racing, one of our favorite pastimes at Barber is the swap meet, with its eclectic mix of motorcycles in various states of repair and the interesting people who make or supplement their living selling them. What follows are some photos from the 2016 edition of the Barber Vintage Swap Meet.
The chill of fall, the smell of burnt oil and gasoline, the twist of the throttle and the cloud of dust that follows. There's nothing quite like a dirt-bike ride on a cool autumn morning. The trails and tracks at Henderson, NC's North Carolina Motorsports Park have been a weekend playground for us Ton Up NC folk for some time now. Here's some pics and video from some recent weekends at NCMP and a few from the not so distant past...

If you know of other great NC places to ride, public or private, do let us know. We're always looking to explore new and interesting dirt.
