The Quail Motorcycle Gathering returned to the pristine lawns of The Quail Golf Club for its 14th year where the 1968 Honda CB750 Factory Prototype, owned by Vic World, was selected as this year's 'Best of Show' winner. The CB750 was joined by dozens of other class winners that highlighted a diversity of motorcycles across different eras, styles and countries of origin, and more than one thousand attendees gathered to celebrate and enjoy an array of local food trucks, lifestyle vendors and live entertainment in a family-friendly setting.
The premier two-wheel event showcased four featured classes, alongside 11 returning traditional classes, that highlighted significant anniversaries and marques in motorcycling, including the 25th Anniversary of Suzuki Hayabusa, the 30th Anniversary of the Ducati 916, the 100th Anniversary of the American Motorcyclist Association and Vespa - Decades of Scooter Fun!.
In addition to the motorcycle classes, this year's event showcased unique sponsor displays from Yamaha and Indian Motorcycle, which highlighted a selection of iconic and new bikes, along with specialized motorcycle products. Other event sponsors include American Motorcyclist Association, Bonhams, Bring a Trailer, Heidenau Tires, Iconic Motorbikes, Law Tigers, Mecum Auctions, Walter Leather, WeatherTech Laguna Seca and Why We Ride.
'The enthusiasm for riding and unbridled passion within the motorcycling community never ceases to inspire,' said Gordon McCall, Director of Motorsports for The Peninsula Signature Events. 'The Quail Motorcycle Gathering is truly a special event that celebrates the evolution of the motorcycle and motorcycling, and we are incredibly honored to work with our valued sponsors and vendors in creating the most anticipated motorcycle event of the year.'
Additional highlights of the 2024 The Quail Motorcycle Gathering involved a Fireside Chat with AMA Hall of Famer and 2024 Legend of the Sport Honoree Ricky Johnson, live music from local Monterey Bay reggae band The Rudians and a selection of local premium food and beverage options.
