Quail Motorcycle Gathering will celebrate vintage motorcycles:
Most enthusiasts associate The Quail Lodge and Golf Club in California with a high-zoot, champagne-soaked event dedicated to classic cars. The venue also hosts an annual gathering dedicated to motorcycles that's making a comeback in 2022 after taking two years off.
This year's edition of the event will highlight four featured categories: the Harley-Davidson XR-750, mini bikes, on- and off-road two-stroke motorcycles, and BMW's /5 Series . And, because motorcycle fans are often car fans , the organizers are adding a fifth category open to a number of classic cars, including hot rods.
Harley-Davidson's XR-750 was hugely popular in the 1970s; Evel Knievel notably jumped over 14 buses while riding one, setting a record that stood for about a quarter of a century. Mini bikes and two-stroke motorcycles are just plain fun, and BMW's flat-twin-powered, Berlin-built /5 range of motorcycles influenced the firm's models for decades to come.
Custom bike designer Roland Sands will attend The Quail Motorcycle Gathering to present the Arlen Ness Memorial Award to a builder. Ness, who was nicknamed"The King of Custom Motorcycles," died in 2019 at 79. If checking out vintage motorcycles while basking in the California sun sounds like your idea of a good time, head to Carmel-by-the-Sea on May 14, 2022. General admission tickets start at $55 including parking and a gear valet service for those who show up in a motorcycle.
