We may need to cancel or change Ride to Quail Motorcycle Gathering 2024 due to 65% chance of rain Saturday

 

At the present time there is a 65% chance of rain forecast for Monterey Saturday May 4th from 9am to 3pm which is the time of the show so we’re asking for an RSVP if you are still planning to go.  If we don’t get enough participation we’ll cancel the overnight ride to the Quail Motorcycle Gathering and change it to an up and back to Moto Talbot on Friday, or cancel both depending on RSVP count.  (Hopefully this will give you time to cancel your hotel reservations)

 

Once again hosted on the lush, award-winning golf course grasses of Quail Lodge & Golf Club, in Carmel, California, The Quail Motorcycle Gathering presented by Medallia will celebrate the evolution of two-wheeled beauties with more than 300 vintage and modern motorcycles, scooters, and bicycles on display. The 2024 event feature leading manufacturers showcasing their newest and most popular bikes, lifestyle and retail exhibitors, gourmet lunch options, local wines and brews, and a family-friendly kid’s area.

The Quail Motorcycle Gathering celebrates the past, present and the future of motorcycling every year with these traditional classes:

• American
• British
• Italian
• Other European
• Japanese
• Competition On Road
• Competition Off Road
• Antique
• Custom/Modified
• Choppers
• Extraordinary Bicycles and Scooters Class

The weather for Friday looks good and the Moto Talbott Motorcycle Museum on Friday  is open.  We don’t want to spend club funds to make it an AMA sanctioned road ride if there will be low participation Friday. 

If you would like to ride as a club Friday to Moto Talbot please rsvp to  Coast-Riders <[email protected]> with your rendezvous point. If we get enough riders we’ll make it a regular club ride and do another email Thursday confirming.  If we don’t we’ll cancel this weekends rides.
