2013 International Motorcycle Shows: Atlanta Recap.

Ahhh… the final event of the motorcycle calendar year, The International Motorcycle Shows Atlanta edition, is now just a bittersweet memory. We'd like to thank those of you stopped by to check out our exhibit, chatted with us about our bikes and/or the Bull City Rumble, financially supported us by buying some Ton Up NC/Bull City Rumble merchandise, to Ton Up Highlands for bringing some bikes for the display, to Combustion Cycles for lending us a trailer and motorcycle and an extra big thanks to the staff at Progressive International Motorcycle Shows for inviting us to participate again this year. I hope you all had as much fun as we did.

TUNC @ International Motorcycle Show: Charlotte, NC

February 22-24, 2013 Charlotte, NC

Please make plans to come visit us at Progressive's International Motorcycle Show at the Charlotte Convention Center in Charlotte, NC. The event kicks off on Friday, February 22 at 4:00pm and continues until Sunday February 24 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: The Moto GP Experience, celebrity appearances by some of your favorite riders, J&P Cycles Ultimate Builder Custom Bike Show, the XDL Street Jam stunt show/competition, Demo Rides, 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.

Looking forward to seeing and meeting as many of you as possible there.
