Quail Motorcycle Gathering Holds the Line on Fancy Bikes, Luscious Locales

Quail Gathering

If you're a well-heeled two-wheeled enthusiast, you've got limited options in this wild world of bikes. Legend of the Motorcycle enjoyed its days under the hazy Half Moon Bay sun (and has since morphed into an online site dubbed Bench and Loom), and though bikes have infiltrated the tony Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance, they still play second fiddle to four-wheelers at that grassy venue.

This year's Quail Motorcycle Gathering is right around the corner, and the May 5th event highlights Marty Dickerson's "Blue Bike" (the 1948 Vincent Rapide which I featured my book, Legendary Motorcycles) and Dan Gurney's "Alligator Bike." The festivities, which take place in Carmel, California, also include an Indian Motorcycles retrospective.

Event tickets are $65 per person, and $15 for kids 12 and under. On May 4th, the Quail Ride takes 100 miles of Carmel and Salinas Valley back roads, and culminates in a private dinner. The ride will run you $295-- but hey, if you have to ask how much this stuff costs, this probably isn't the event for you.
