It’s 5/14/16 a Saturday morning and I can’t get started to the Quail Lodge Motorcycle Event with a broken headlamp. I get lucky and find that Gilroy Motorcycle has one in stock. Sooo off I go to Gilroy for a short detour…Oh, and they’re next to a great coffee shop.
Thank you Steve and Hilary Schaub owners of Gilroy Motorcycle Center for helping me install the Yamaha Raider’s headlamp. You probably saved me a ticket as where the Quail Motorcycle Event took place in Carmel Valley had more than its share of Sheriff and Highway Patrol.
“Where’s Waldo”…Oops, I mean where’s my ol’ Raider parked? Hint…it’s the one with the one of a kind ‘yellow’ backpack. There’s not as many people as the LoveRide but enough parked bikes to go around the corner at the far end of this picture and on for another half mile.
Everything’s going to carbon fiber. Minimalist Russell Mitchell owner/builder of EXILE CYCLES was one of the first to build a carbon fiber custom for the GREAT BIKER BUILD-OFF television series. This bike may have been inspired by it?
Rey Sotelo of Hollister PowerSports designed one of Indian Motorcycles’ new custom models. Voted into the Motorcycle Hall of Fame, you couldn’t find a better person to represent America’s oldest motorcycle manufacture. Rey’s the good lookin’ guy in the foreground with the sunglasses.
Raise your hand if you think Geronimo and Mark Twain author of TOM SAWYER were alive when this Indian motorcycle was made.
PEACE RIDE SAFE
