Shifin Gearz Magazine Partners with Advanstar Communications to Promote the 28th Annual Cycle World International Motorcycle Show^® Presented by Toyota

Raleigh, NC August 25, 2008 – Shifin Gearz Magazine, the premier sport bike magazine recognized widely by motorcycle enthusiasts on the East Coast is pleased to announce their partnership with Advanstar Communications to promote the 28th Annual Cycle World International Motorcycle Show® Presented by Toyota. The show is coming to the Carolinas February 20-22, 2009.

This nationwide show series allows motorcycle fans to get an up-close look at more than 600 new model motorcycles including street bikes, dirt bikes, fuel efficient bikes, cruisers, scooters, ATVs and watercraft from 19 major manufacturers.

The South Carolina stop is the last stop on the tour of 13 cities and will be held at the Carolina First Center in Greenville, SC. This is the first year being held in South Carolina, in previous years the event took place in Atlanta but diligent research on the area prompted the move and we at Shifin Gearz Mag couldn’t be more excited about the opportunity to promote an event of this magnitude in the Carolinas!

SGM will be in attendance with a booth at the show and we look forward to seeing all of our loyal readers there. Stay tuned for more information in the coming months as we will have tickets to give away on our “SGM Winning Wednesdays” and at the SGM Bikers’ Choice Awards Show to be held October 11th in Fayetteville, NC. We also are planning a party to be held in Greenville, SC during the show so we have an opportunity to meet and greet with our readers.
