Covid-19 Protest--Motorcycle Show & Swap Meet November 14-15, 2020 Sponsored by CBA-Charlotte Chapter, North Carolina elcome back my friends to the show that
never ends….well, except we just had to cancel the March show because of the damn Covid 19. That was the first time in 48 years that we had to cancel a show. We appreciate everyone’s understanding and support. We only had 3 or 4 vendors that wanted a refund. The rest of them said to roll their money over and they would see us all in November. The November Show will be our CBA Fall Bike Show & Swap Meet & Covid-19 PROTEST! This show is always on or near Veterans Day. We will be recognizing our Vets on Saturday and Sunday with the playing of our National Anthem. On Sunday, we will be running a 2 for 1 admission from 10 am – 12 noon. Come on out and join us for a good time. Remember your money stays in North Carolina, not California, and is used to protect your biker lifestyle. This ain’t a t-shirt show, folks. It is a real swap meet and bike show put on by real bikers. Our members work hard to put on a good show for your enjoyment. If you’ve been to one of our shows, you know there will be a building full of beautiful show bikes to look at. There will be 2 buildings and a barn and a giant outdoor midway full of vendors. Come early if you want to find those antique parts you’ve been looking for. You can find something that you want or need…from a new set of tins, a new front end, tires, a rolling chassis, engines, transmissions, or a new complete motorcycle. You can find biker jewelry, leathers, boots, t-shirts. You name it, it will be there including food and beverage. Remember that Christmas won’t be too far behind so shop for Santa. There will be 2 bands playing all day for your listening pleasure. The bike show will have trophies and a $1,000 People’s Choice Award which will be awarded on Sunday afternoon. We will be open both days from 10am-6pm. Saturday admission is $15 for one day or $25 for the weekend. Sunday admission will be 2 for $15 from 10 am until 12 noon. Please remember NO PETS will be admitted to our show! We want to remind you that when you attend our show, or any CBA event across the State, all the money stays in North Carolina and is used to promote our sport and lifestyle and to be your eyes and voice in Raleigh and Washington, DC. We try to keep you informed of legislation that affects us as bikers. We talk to legislators and let them know how we feel.
We fight against some legislation and help introduce some favorable legislation, also. You need CBA and CBA needs you. We need a united motorcycle organization to have more impact with the legislators. Remember, “United we stand….Divided we fall”. Join our/your organization now! We will be having a membership drive at our show. You can join Charlotte CBA for the low, low cost of $10.00 for a yearly membership or $20 for a year’s membership and an event t-shirt and help us represent you in Raleigh. (We can keep the cost down because of our Swap Meets.) One of the things that CBA uses the money for, and that I am most proud of, is our MSAP…Motorcycle Safety and Awareness Program. This is where our CBA MSAP trained instructors, under the leadership of Keith Long, go into local high school driver’s education classes and make students aware of motorcyclists that they will be sharing the road with. Our Charlotte MSAP Instructors have taught over 60,800 students. Hopefully this will save some lives. We also get Proclamations from the State and many cities across our State declaring “May Is Motorcycle Safety & Awareness Month in NC”. Charlotte CBA has fun and goes on runs and to events as a group. If you would like to join us, we meet on the 2nd and 4th Tuesday of every month at the Iron Thunder Saloon meeting room, Concord Mills. We will have a membership booth at the Swap Meet, also. Come out to our show on November 14-15,2020 and support the CBA, our vendors, and our sponsors so that we can keep giving you the biggest, best, and oldest bike show and swap meet on the East Coast. For vendor information, contact me, Rick Nail, 704-577-1546 or go to CharlotteCBA.org and look under Swap Meet and Bike Show information. Don’t forget the CBA Toy Run, December 6 starting at Bojangles Coliseum parking lot on East Independence Blvd. Staging will begin at 11am with KSU at 1pm. The ride will go to Independence Harley- Davidson. Come on out and bring a new, unwrapped toy and help a child have a Merry Christmas! Come on out to our Family Reunion and see your old friends and meet some new friends! See ya November 14-15, 2020 at the Rowan County Fairgrounds, Exit 74 off I-85 North, 1560 Julian Road, Salisbury, NC. “RIDE SAFE & RIDE FREE” Rick
