AUTOMOTIVE WHEEL - TON UP!,  EXHIBIT IN CYRIL HUZE POST RACER, This has been an incredibly busy summer for The Vintagent: writing a big chunk of the BikeExif/Gestalten book The Ride, organizing the Ton Up! exhibit for Sturgis Bike Week, and writing the Ton Up! book for Motorbooks.  Cyril Huze stopped by the Ton Up! Michael Lichter exhibition hall at the Buffalo Chip in Sturgis, and filed the following report on his mega-popular Cyril Huze Post on Aug. 6th, 2013.  Its worth a click-back to his site, to read the comments attached, which are always an entertaining mix on CHP...

From the Cyril Huze Post, Aug 6 2013:

An exhibition focusing on the origins of the Cafe Racer movement is certain to draw huge crowds. Especially it is organized by internationally renowned photographer Michael Lichter. Mike’s 2013 Sturgis Buffalo Chip exhibition to celebrate motorcycles as art is called “Ton Up â€" Speed, Style and Cafe Racer Culture.”

This year’s exhibition will get even more recognition as it will live on in the coffee-table book “Ton Up â€" Speed, Style and Cafe Racer Culture,” published by Motorbooks International. Michael Lichter will photograph all the motorcycles in his Sturgis studio for the book, which will also include the jackets, artwork, and photographs from the exhibit.

Paul d’Orléans is writing a comprehensive history of the Café Racer mo vement for the book; from its deep origins in speed-modified road bikes from the ‘Teens, to the ‘classic’ period in England in the 1950s/60s, through its various resurrections in the 1970s, 80s, and especially, with the advent of Internet motorcycle blogs, TV shows, and ‘Café Racer’ magazines, the explosive popularity of the style in the 21st Century.
