Cafe Racer Mag to Sponsor Builder Show and Track Day at Road Atlanta
Get ready to “do the ton” as Cafe Racer Magazine, the custom motorcycle mag for lovers of all things fast, sleek and powerful, brings its world-renowned custom bike show to the Big Kahuna Atlanta, scheduled for the weekend of April 20 – 22, 2012 at Braselton, Ga.’s Road Atlanta.
The Cafe Racer Magazine Custom Bike Show is set to take place in the previously-announced Cafe Racer Village at M1 PowerSports’ Big Kahuna Atlanta, one of three events on the 2012 AMA Pro Road Racing calendar which make up the Big Kahuna Triple Crown.
“Getting people to the track is one of our core missions, and another motto of ours is ‘Come for the Party, Stay for the Race’ and the custom bike show fits right in with both of those,” said Cameron Gray, CEO of M1 PowerSports. “We want owners of these awesome pieces of motorcycle art to bring their bikes out to the track so they can show off their hard work, and we know that the Big Kahuna fans will be enamored by each and every one of them. The Cafe Racer Village is really shaping up to be a huge hit.”
Since 2008, Cafe Racer Magazine has put on custom bike shows at venues which have included London’s Ace Cafe, several rounds of the Progressive International Motorcycle Show and during the AMA’s Vintage Motorcycle Days event at the Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course.
“The custom bike shows are a chance to witness firsthand the emerging trends and high-performance technology that makes today’s Cafe Racer movement so exciting,” said Mike Seate, editor of Cafe Racer Magazine and host of Velocity network’s Cafe Racer TV. “Whether we’re looking at a garage-built, $500 Japanese bike or a fully restored $50,000 Vincent, these bikes all share the passion and uniqueness that’s made cafe racers popular for over 60 years.”
During the Big Kahuna Atlanta, the magazine’s crew will be on hand as readers display their hand-built street racers.
Both classic cafe-style motorcycles and newer, retro cafe racers will be welcome at the bike show, which offers trophies for the following classes:
- Best British Cafe Racer 1990 and Newer
- Best British Cafe Racer, Pre-1990
- Best American/European Cafe Racer
- Best Japanese Cafe Racer
- Wildest Custom Cafe Bike.
