Past Events:
Sept 2-3, 2011 - Yet another amazing Bull City Rumble! Thanks to the Ton Up NC crew, this year's event was HUGE! Our buddy Eddie Chavez won Best Japanese for his awesome custom XS - CONGRATS EDDIE!! See the pictures & buy the goodies that let people know you supported the event (we won't tell if you didn't go...) HERE! And yes, that red beauty on the right IS Eddie's baby!
November, 2010 Dave went to Baja! Friend of the shop Keith took the plunge & raced the Baja 1000 on his heavily modified Honda CRF450X - as a solo rider, no less! Dave & Lee went along to be the support/pit crew for Keith. He made it 850 miles, but dehydration & fatigue bit him hard... Now there's talk of a return trip, possibly with the TransAlp!
Sept 3-4th, 2010 Bull City Rumble! The boys from Ton Up NC moved the Raleigh Rumble to Durham and found the response overwhelming! Turnout was fantastic, both in bikes and people!
Feb 7th, 2010: Sandblast 2010! Dave finished 9th overall out of 46 racers in the cold rainy muddy SC sand!
Sept 5th, 2009: Raleigh Rumble!
Last year's Rumble had a good turnout, and great weather! Vintage British and Japanese Bikes, Vintage Scooters, and music to boot! Combustion Cycles showcased a retro custom 1974 Honda CB750K4 special built for the event!

This Dual-Sport stage rally race in upstate NY takes place on gravel and tarmac roads, with speeds above 100mph! Dave placed 7th overall, 2nd in Medium Modified class!
Feb 7th, 2009: SandBlast!!!!
The most fun you can have on the Sand! This dual-sport event is about 2 hours from Durham, in Cheraw, SC. Dave delivered some Transalp Fury all over those sand roads and got 3rd place in his class, 15th overall! It was great to see some triangle area folks come out to either race or volunteer! Thanks a mill! Click here for a video from the Rally!
