The Bull City Rumble is a world-renowned vintage motorcycle and scooter rally hosted by Ton Up NC annually on Labor Day Weekend in Durham, NC. Thematically, the event has its roots in the traditional rivalry of Mods vs. Rockers, the sensationalized clash of two subcultures, scooter riding squares and motorcycle riding hooligans, in 1960’s England. The event has evolved from its humble beginnings in a parking lot in 2005 to a multi-venue, multi-day rally drawing thousands of enthusiasts from all over the world.


On Labor Day weekend: Saturday, August 30, 31 and September 1 2013; downtown Durham will again be filled with the sights and sounds of vintage scooters, motorcycles and enthusiasts from all four corners of the globe. The historic Lucky Strike Tobacco Warehouses serve as the backdrop for the annual bike show where judges aren’t necessarily looking for the prettiest and cleanest machines. They are looking for well ridden bikes with personality and craftsmanship.
