The North Alabama Region AACA club visited Coker Tire Company on Friday, September 26, 2008. We enjoyed their visit to the Coker Tire Headquarters. With fresh renovations and a busy restoration shop, it was a great sunny day in east Tennessee to visit us here. Check out the pictures in the gallery for more.
2nd Annual Indian Day
If you like antique motorcycles, then you definitely don’t want to miss the upcoming motorcycle show in Pomona, California! From America’s first motorcycles, classic Indian motorcycles and 100 year old Harleys, the Automobile Club of Southern California is hosting this years 2nd annual Indian Day at the NHRA Museum.
Entry is FREE to all classic and vintage motorcycles, which includes not only the Museum tour, but also the California Bike Weekend, Harley- Davidson’s Custom Bike Expo, and on Saturday night, the Flat Track Racing at the Pomona Fairplex. Sounds like a pretty sweet deal!
Also included in the entry is a FREE seminar by Sam Wheeler, owner, builder and rider of the 355 mph E-Z-Hook streamliner—one of the world’s fastest motorcycles. Wheeler reached the speed of 355.3 mph at the Bonneville Salt Flats in September of 2006, which is one of the fastest speeds ever recorded for a motorcycle. This event is sponsored by Duke Video USA and Coker Tire with some awesome door prizes to be given away.
There’s an old saying in SEC football “Three yards and a cloud of dust”. Well this weekend it was three days and cloud of dust, tire smoke and some speedy-dry too. Months of preparation and anticipation culminated in a great rally event here at Coker Tire.
The weekend kicked off Thursday night after tech inspections with a social in the museum. The teams were joined by a few bus-loads of folks from the AACA Southeastern Fall Meet in nearby Cleveland, TN. Good food, good music and good times were the primer for an early Friday start.
