Bull City Rumble - Vintage Motorcycle Show
The Bull City Rumble is Cancelled until further notice or someone steps up to take over the reigns.
.
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 youth cultures- scooter riding mods and motorcycle riding rockers, 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.
The hosts, Ton Up NC, are a small nonprofit group of enthusiasts with a singular mission: to promote the riding, restoration and racing of vintage British motorcycles through education and outreach. When not organizing events, the members of Ton Up NC compete nationally in vintage dirt and road motorcycle racing.
