Day 1 of IMS at the Stevens Convention Center in Rosemont was a blast! The Mods v. Rockers booth looks boss, thanks to the hard work of Ton Up Club Chicago. We’ll be here all weekend long, so come out and stop by. Head over to the gallery and check out the pics as we set up for the big event.

And see you at Cobra tonight for CBH’s monthly reggae and soul party.

We’re mixing it up with our good friends… err, mortal enemies… the Ton Up Club for a Mods vs. Rockers booth at the Cycle World International Motorcycle Show. Stop by and check us out, we’ll have 6 scoots and god knows how many motorcycles, plus loads of memorabilia from the Chicago scooter scene! Show runs from February 19-21 out in Rosemont at the Stevens Convention Center.

Best way to get there is on the Hobgoblin Beer Bus – meet on Saturday, Feb. 20, 2pm, at Five Star Bar. $10 gets you on the bus with all the beer you can drink… bus returns from the show at 7pm. Ton Up Chicago follows it up with their anniversary party at Five Star.

And if bobbers are your thing, don’t miss
The Harbortown Bobber screening at Portage Park on Thursday, February 18. Check the Ton Up Chicago website for more info.
