  • Central Cal. Meet idea

    Here’s a ride idea!
    Saturday, May 6th, Half Moon Bay, “Legend of the Motorcycle, Concours d’Elegance.” 200 pristine classic bikes on display. Apparently a very popular bike even. Never been there, which is reason itself for wanting to go! It’s at the Ritz Carlton (don’t chu kno o ow!) and cost $50 advance or $65 at the door. A bit steep, but roughly the cost of a movie date, even if it’s with your wife. Well, what I mean is, even if it’s your wife you’re takeing to movie… oh, never mind.
    Go to www.legendofthemotorcycle.com and check it out.
    I can envision a meeting at Alice’s Restaurant then riding together to the event. It would be a great ride up Skyline Drive to 92 and down to Halfmoon Bay. Of course, it’s not a bad ride to Alice’s Restaurant from anywhere.
    Hey Ray, the event you said was canceled is indeed canceled, but it is a different event. This is apparently focused exclusively on classic and antique bikes. Bet you’d be intoit.

    Old bikers never die, they're just out of sight!

    My recently re-built, hopped up '79 Special caught fire and burned everything from the top of the engine up: gas tank, wiring, seat, & melted my windshield all over the front of the bike. Just bought a 1980 Special that has been non oped for 9 years. My Skoot will rise from the ashes and be re named "The Phoenix!"
    I've been riding since 1959.

    Yeah it is a bit steep. Movie date? That's why I have a big screen and surround sound in my living room, paid for itself in theater tickets and dinners out. Still it is a great idea though. Ritz Carlton...hmm...Do I have to figure out a way to put my suit bag in my saddlebag? Oh right, time to try out my "easy travel" blazer. Then of course I have to bring SWMBO, means $100 for concours tickets and I bought the bike 'cause it was cheap!

      "Concours d'Elegance at the Ritz-Carlton?" I'm more of a "Pool Hall of Beer and Cigars" kind of guy...

          Mentioned the concours to SWMBO and she immediately piped up, "Half Moon Bay Ritz-Carlton? I'd go to that!"
