I don't live far at all, about 50 miles up the road. I actually used to live in Mooresville, and I still come through statesville to visit friends. Not sure if you are familiar with NC bike shows, but there is one in Eden on April 16th, there will be one in Reidsville in September, and I host one in Mount Airy (where I live) in October. Also I am currently trying to get one set up with the help of one of last year's attendees at my show, and the owner of Ride-a-Bike in Lincolnton. That show will likely take place either in Lincolnton or Gastonia and will probably feature mostly rat rod bicycles.
