About Me

The Ton Up Club (www.tonup.com) was founded on the idea that classic bikes were built to be ridden not just polished and stared at. It’s also based on the Rocker culture of England in the 1960’s, which was strongly influenced by American outlaw biker culture of the 1950’s and the movie the Wild One. It’s really all about hanging out with your mates, riding your bike to the café and rock-n-roll.

My Interests

Brit bikes, Cafe racers, Beer

I'd like to meet:

Cracking the ton on a classic. Not some carbon fiber shrouded super bullet, but a bike with some style, history and more momentum than a duel leading shoe can handle. It doesn't have to be British (but it helps) and you don't have to be a ROCKER. To join the TON UP CLUB you need attitude and a bike that lets you know when you've reached 100 MPH. You have to like long rides on dark roads to little bars. You have to like ROCKABILLY (who doesn't). You have to know a few sheep jokes. You have to love a good pint. You have to try to get the front wheel up on occasion. It also helps to be a real pisser.
