So, as many of you know DO THE TON is signed up to have a display area at the upcoming North American International Motorcycle Supershow, Jan 15, 16 17 2010 at the Toronto International Centre (up by the airport).
We're looking for bikes to display. Likely we'll be capping it at 15 or so bikes.
Details will follow, but here's the general idea:
1. You will be responsible for transporting your bike to and from the show
2. Bikes are to arrive (we think) during the day on Thursday Jan 14 - we will confirm the specific window of time
3. Lets just assume for the moment that gas tanks should be empty
4. Bikes will be put on display at your own risk - we'll be working out a schedule for people to be attending the display area, but bottom line, we can't guarantee some idiot won't knock your bike over or scratch the paint.
5. Bikes are to depart in the evening on Sunday Jan 17 - again we will confirm the specific window of time
6. Bikes should be accompanied by an info-sheet - I'll print these up with details from you about your bike. I'm designing a DO THE TON info-sheet with the make/model/year, builder name and a spot for a short write-up. This will be the minimum documentation placed with each bike for people to read. Would love to see more from any of you including build pictures etc. that you can place beside the bike etc.
We're looking for FIRM commitments from people who will FOR SURE bring their bike. We have to limit the number, and don't want to cut anyone off the list and then have someone not show up with their bike(s). Unfortunately I don't think we're in a position to provide free or discounted passes to people who bring their bikes. I'd love to hand out tickets, but we're not in a position to spend $100's on tickets
So if you're interested in showing off your bike, let me know by PM here or email me at taysan @ gmail.com. Include recent pictures of your bike representative of how it will look mid-Jan. We're open to being creative - if you want to show off your in-progress project, by all means, bring it along! Would be nice to show people how we get from a basket case to a finished bike.
All make/models/styles of bikes are welcome (but lets say no scooters or mopeds ) Cafe, bobber, chopper, unclassified wackiness... whatever.
I'm bringing my XS650 for sure, and if we have the room I might bring my dusty as-found SR500 with the mouse-nest and all to show people what kind of thing we might start with as a barn-find sitting for 20 years.
We'll be there with a limited number of 4" DO THE TON patches for sale (I have about 25 left) So make sure you drop in, bring your friends and pay a visit.
