The Quail Motorcycle Gathering Returns Celebrating the Harley-Davidson XR-750, Two-Stroke Motorcycles, Minibikes and BMW /5 Series and a new hot rod and classic car class.
2022 Quail Motorcycle Gathering
The Quail Motorcycle Gathering will return to Quail Lodge & Golf Club in Carmel, California, on Saturday, May 14, 2022. The 12th annual event will present five featured classes, food and beverage offerings, product demonstrations from leading manufacturers and hands-on activities for all ages to enjoy.
The five featured motorcycle classes include the Harley-Davidson XR-750, Two-Stroke motorcycles, mini bikes and the BMW /5 Series. Additionally, there will be one brand-new non-motorcycle class featuring hot rods and classic cars.
The iconic Harley-Davidson XR-750 was the most dominant production race bike ever built and was raced by greats such as Mert Lawwill, Cal Rayborn and Jay Springsteen. It was made even more popular by world-renowned daredevil Evel Knievel.
Two-Stroke motorcycles, both on and off-road will help to add a bit of nostalgia for show goers. The Two-Stroke “Braaaps” display will showcase pre-mixed motorcycle history from the 1960’s through to the early ‘80s. Motocross bikes, road bikes and even Grand Prix two-stroke 500cc bikes will be on display.
The BMW /5 series of motorcycles were the first made entirely in Berlin from 1970 to 1973 and featured electric starting and telescopic forks.
New this year, The Quail Motorcycle Gathering welcomes custom bike builder and 2022 Legend of the Sport, Roland Sands, who will present the Arlen Ness Memorial Award to a custom motorcycle builder in honour of the late Ness.
“We are thrilled for the return of The Quail Motorcycle Gathering featuring one of the finest and rarest vintage and modern motorcycle collections in the world,” said Kai Lermen, General Manager of Quail Lodge & Golf Club. “Additionally, our 12th annual celebration introduces an entirely new class of hot rods and classic cars to appeal to a more diverse crowd of motoring enthusiasts offering something for everyone. We expect the 2022 event to be one of the best gatherings to date.”
As always, the show will take place on the pristine lawns of the Quail Lodge & Golf Club in Carmel, California. Featuring a variety of activities for people of all ages, guests can indulge in a diverse menu from food trucks and motorcycle lifestyle vendors. Children, families and even pets are welcome.
