2017 Quail Motorcycle Gathering

Some 3,000 spectators braved the cool weather and foreboding skies to enjoy the 9th annual ‘Quail’ in Carmel Valley on May 6th.

Participants from around the world brought an elaborate array of over 350 machines to the Quail Lodge and Golf Club to compete for awards at this show which has garnered a reputation as one of the pre-eminent motorcycle shows in the world.

Part of what makes the show so exciting for moto-heads (and justifies the $95 ticket) is the incredible variety. Strolling the grass you’ll find the finest examples of historic racing machines, fresh-built custom bikes, rare production bikes, magnificently restored legends and everything in between.
