Ton up!

So there's this guy Skip. He's doing his damnedest to get a Ton Up chapter started in NorCal. What's TonUp? It's a motorcycle club of sorts. Basically, it's a bunch of guys who ride old Brit bikes and can't seem to let go of the whole Rocker phenomenon born in the UK during the 50s-60s. And that's a good thing. It is everything that is "cool" about motorcycles...click!

While I don't consider myself a "joiner," it sure would be nice to ride around with a bunch of guys that get it. The Rocker thing is a culture within a culture.

The one "problem" is that the meetings are in SF on Thursday evenings. Now before Smalls hits the comment button to say "let's move to SF!", let me say that riding up to SF isn't a big deal. In fact, I don't really see the point of having a bike or car club meet 2 miles from your house. Your machine is meant to be ridden. So riding to the meeting would be fine with me. But still, it's a weeknight and I'm a working stiff.

I'm just stoked that Skip is taking the lead and getting something together that has the potential to be super rad.
