Tryon Rolling Art Motorcycle Show

What a pleasant way to spend a fall afternoon in western North Carolina.  You see old friends and meet new friends.  You see new cars like the new Maserati and old cars like the Model A Ford.

Put Tryon Rolling Art car and Motorcycle show on your calendar for 2017.  If you like antique cars and antique motorcycles, you will love Tryon in the fall.

If you are riding your bike to the show from Spartanburg or Greenville, stay off that nasty old interstate.  Take U.S. 176 north from Spartanburg.  U.S. 176 runs right through downtown Tryon.  If you are coming from Greenville, take highway 14 through Greer.  When you get to Landrum, turn left on U S 176 .  Follow that into Tryon.  You can stop Bird Mountain Wine and Spirits at the state line on U S 176 and put on your helmet.  Tell Ken I said hello.

While you are riding in the neighborhood, check out White Oak Mountain http://rondclimer.blogspot.com/2016/02/a-waterfall-motorcycle-destination.html   Ride up White Oak Mountain if you need an adrenaline rush.

If you are riding in from Asheville, take U S 176 from Hendersonville to Saluda to Tryon.  This is one of the best motorcycle roads in North Carolina.

Tryon Rolling Art car and Motorcycle show was A plus.

The Tryon Rolling Art Antique Car Truck and Motorcycle Show

     October 31, 2015 in Downtown Tryon, North Carolina was the Tryon "Rolling Art" Antique Car, Truck and Motorcycle Show.  I thought I would take my 1961 Harley Davidson Super 10.  Maybe I could win a prize.  I knew there was no chance of that when that 1927 Indian Four showed up.

Tryon Antique Car and Motorcycle Show was won by a  1927 Indian

There were over a hundred great looking antique cars and trucks and bikes at  The Tryon Car show in Tryon, North Carolina.  A Ferrari won for the cars.  A 1930 Ford Truck won for the trucks.  The prizes were decided by popular vote.  The weather was perfect.

     Thompson Garden Center donated their parking lot for the Tryon Antique Car Show.  They had the movie,"The World's Fastest Indian" playing on the DVD in the lobby .  If you are a motorcycle enthusiast and you haven't seen that movie starring Anthony Hopkins, check it out.  It is a super motorcycle, human spirit movie.

 Harley Davidson Super 10 at the Tryon Antique Car Show

Any antique car show is fun.  This one seemed a little cooler than most.  There were lots of British cars including a 1937 Rolls Royce.   Antique car shows let you know how far automobiles have come since they were invented.  Here,in 1937, the finest car in the world was built with no heater.  That luxury Packard didn't look like much of a car compared to that Rolls. There were lots of Volkswagen.  There were a few rat rods.
