Haven't met any of you guy's personally, but from this forum & Dotheton.com, I get the feelling you are a cool bunch of guy's to hang out with, no B.S. like some of the other clubs.  I made sure to mention your club to a friend of mine who moved to Chicago recently from Seattle via Toledo, he is also a great guy & a good wrencher, so I hope he makes it out for one of your Monday night rides.

I don't join recreational clubs of any kind just for these type of problems. I just like riding when I want, where I want, how fast I want and for as long as I want. (Unless the wife says otherwise  :D )

We all showed-up at a Ton-Up show at a bar here in Nashville and all the SOHC4 folks were ignored and dissed, ask JAG....... if your motor's not make of 'iron' forget it ???

I've joined shooting clubs and other recreational clubs for fun in the past, and all I got out of them was less fun.  I guess I'm just more of a loner, oh well, suits me okay.
I do enjoy getting together with 1-3 other people to share a fun activity, but only sporadically, when everyone happens to feel like it.

Update:
Just to show ya how shady Larry is while he was "doing wrong" Remey from Broken Cherry he had his computer guy backup the TonUp website behind her back.
So then he screws her over, she turns off the website, now he goes and re-hosts it under a different server.
All of this why he owes a local Chicago business (which he says he is all about supporting) 1,000's of dollars...

Club #$%* is all the same. A waste of time - the end result.

I agree with this.. learned it way back in high school ;D it turns out into a big f*ckfest about where money comes from and goes to and the Vehicle you own.

I for one will never join a club about anything auto (cars or bikes) again except for here, I like it here. But were more of a cult aren't we guys? ;D

How did ton up come up with the money to host another site? I've seen the new site its the same URL except they put club in the middle. Pretty low on there part.

I really hope Mods VS Rockers stays afloat thought its a amazing event regardless of the shady club, just for a fact of interesting bikes and vintage bikes, huge huge turnout and the in the city unrestricted city feel.

Is there any connection between the Ton Up club and the owner of Delilah's and the Bottom Lounge? I believe his name is Mike Miller. I've always thought of him as a somewhat shady character.  Mainly because back in 09 I entered my bike in the  contest, they called my name & bike then basically uncalled it. maybe it was a honest mistake or tie or something I dunno. But I thought it was pretty #$%*ty.

Miller owns both Bottom Lounge and Deiliahs and in bed with Larry from TonUp Chicago.
