Ton Up NC at International Motorcycle Show: Atlanta, GA Nov. 15-17, 2013

Please make plans to come visit us at Progressive's International Motorcycle Show at the Cobb Galleria Center (Two Galleria Parkway, Atlanta, GA) in Atlanta, GA. The event kicks off on Friday, November 15, 2013 at 3:00pm and continues until Sunday, November 17, 2013 at 5:00pm. We will have a booth packed with a ton of our favorite vintage motorcycles, racing memorabilia and information and swag from upcoming Ton Up NC events including the Meltdown, the Rochelle Reliability Run and the Bull City Rumble.

In addition to checking out Ton Up NC's display of pedigreed vintage road/dirt racing machines and a selection of our favorite vintage road bikes, plan on spending the entire weekend exploring isles and isles of motorcycle bliss including: School of Rock, celebrity appearances by some of your favorite riders, J&P Cycles Ultimate Builder Custom Bike Show, the XDL Street Jam stunt show/competition, Vintage Clubs, the Marketplace etc. etc. etc. too much to name here. Trust me, its at least two or three days worth of two-wheeled fun (for more show features click here). Come with a credit card or some cash, because I'm sure they'll be a deal on something that you just won't be able to pass up.

We will be bringing the following bikes for our display:

1951 Vincent Black Shadow

1966 Triumph Bonneville T120 TT Special Road Racer

Charlotte IMS Recap

An aerial view of our booth.

We finally had a chance to catch our collective breath after the whirl-wind weekend that was the Charlotte International Motorcycle Show. This was our first year with a display at the event and we learned a lot from the experience. We learned that two-three people can pull this off, having Ducati girls in your booth attracts a lot of attention and that 73 350 Bultaco's are way more interesting to most people than say, a 1962 Triton. To all those who came, thanks for stopping by and saying hello, to everyone who helped us, thanks for lending a hand and to those who didn't make it, we hope you come and see us at another event or at next year's IMS. Next stop Triumph Vintage Day at Ray Price.
In case you missed our booth, or stopped by and wondered what it was you were looking at, here's a complete list of the bikes we brought: L-R 1971 BSA A65, 1969 Triumph T120 Bonneville, 1973 Bultaco Pursang 350, 1967 Triton, 1962 Triton, 1959 Matchless G3, 1978 Triumph T140 Bonneville AHRMA Racer, 1974 Norton Commando.
