HALF MOON BAY, CALIF. --
It's midmorning of a cool May day on the California coast. Standing amid rolling fairways and tightly trimmed greens, entrepreneurs Jared and Brooke Zaugg are basking in the glory of their creation, not a golf tournament but a celebration of machinery. Today the Ocean Course links, wrapped around the Ritz-Carlton hotel at Half Moon Bay, are home to the third annual Legend of the Motorcycle Concours d'Elegance.
Undeterred by the overcast sky, fans stream across the 18th fairway to get a close look at hundreds of antique bikes that have been polished and primed by their owners, who include entrepreneurs, executives, and devil-be-damned bikers. By day's end more than 6,000 bike lovers, exhibitors, and collectors will show up, many arriving on their own vintage rides.

please tell me that really IS your father!
i miss my vintage bikes most days. but i’m glad that i can get on my new bike anytime, hit the starter and it’ll fire right up every time.
i’m still hoping to finish restoration of my W2TT one of these days though.
I wuz hoping this would be a Chevy thread!!!
Wonder how many of these get ridden? IMHO, if it ain’t rode, it just a piece of art collecting dust.
I subscribe Motorcycle Classics which a great publication, their motto is: Ride ‘Em, Don’t Hide ‘Em!

It's not a miserable rainy November morning in Stevenage, Hertfordshire, so it'll have to take second place.
