2015 RelicMoto Vintage Show

The 2015 event was a great success, with 16 makes ranging from 1929 to 1980.

All of the bikes and bike owners were fantastic, and over 200 people attended, which is fantastic for our first year! We are so grateful to everyone that helped to make the show a success, including the Camp House and all of the artists who contributed.

The date and location for the 2016 event are still TBD. If you have any suggestions for an awesome venue, send us an email at relicmotovintageshow@gmail.com

Vintage Vespas/Lambrettas from Stan at Scenic City Scooters

Late submissions of Vespas/Lambrettas (as of yesterday) mean that we're going to have a few scooters to show as well! Stan of Scenic City Scooters in Chattanooga has a fantastic collection of vintage scooters and has chosen a couple of fantastic Vespas.

Pinstriping by Chastin Brand

Good friend and master pinstriper/sign writer/tattooist Chastin Brand will be set up to lay paint on stuff at the show - bring your helmet, tank, tool box, random odds and ends to have some custom pinstriping or lettering by Chastin.

Check out some of his previous work at http://www.pinheadlounge.com/chastin or on instagram (@chastinbrand).

Thank you to everyone that submitted bikes for the show. The submissions are now closed, and we have a full show of fantastic and interesting motorcycles. I will post a sneak peak shortly, but now we look forward to putting together the history of each and getting ready for the show!

Thanks again everyone!

Bike submissions so far

We're enjoying seeing the bikes and hearing their stories. We've had submissions with bikes with one owner from new (1968) and saving something literally from a big junk hole in the backyard.

Just to reiterate that we are not looking for show quality bikes per se but instead bikes with interesting stories, unusual bikes, stuff you wouldn't see everyday. We hear about all of these fantastic motorcycles hiding in garages, basements, or even living rooms, and we would like to pull some of those out in the light of day for other motorcycle enthusiasts or potential enthusiasts to enjoy.

A sample of what we've seen in the emails so far:
A few Honda CBs
BSA
Gilera
Famous James
Triumph flat tracker
Moto Guzzi
Ducatis
Yamaha
Kawasaki
Harley Davidson flat trackers

Looking forward to more emails! It's free for motorcycles to be included in the show.

Pop icon and artist Paul Friederich is creating a new motorcycle series for the event

Raleigh-based Paul Friederich is well known for his Onion Head Monster comics as well as his work for the Carolina Hurricanes (CarolinaHurricanes.com/CupOfAwesome), for which he earned the distinction of being the NHL's first ever pop-cartoonist.

He cofounded the SparkCon conference, the South's pre-eminent conference on creativity, is member of the award-winning DesignBox in Raleigh, is editor of HellCar magazine, and author/illustrator of several books, including "Lions!," "Don't Trust Evil Knievel," "The Wolf Who Cried Boy," and most recently, "Onion Head Monster's 79 Ways to Add Stress to Your Life" with David Mason.

In addition, he's the co-creator of Man v Liver (http://manvliver.tumblr.com/), which has grown from the initial concept on napkins to a book to a potential TV show.

For the RelicMoto show, Paul is transferring recent influences from too many 50's to 70's motorcycle movies to a new series featuring the 2-wheeled vehicles.

Also, Paul has created these groovy Chattanooga stickers, which will only be available at the show, so make sure to pick yours up!
