2017 Dates Announced for 9th Annual The Quail Motorcycle Gathering
The Quail has announced details of its 2017 event, which you can read in its press release below. It reminded us of the time the MO crew was able to attend in 2012, and we were blown away by the incredible machinery spanning a century of Motorcycle evolution. We produced several videos that year, and you can see them in the link above. Since then, we’ve had great contributors provide us full reports of the 2014, 2015, and 2016 events. If you’re on the fence about going in 2017, we doubt you will be after checking out the past reports and the video below. Here’s the official press release:
The Peninsula Signature Events has announced May 6, 2017 as the date of The Quail Motorcycle Gathering, presented by GEICO Motorcycle. The 9th Annual event at Quail Lodge & Golf Club will feature an expansive selection of the finest and rarest vintage and modern motorcycles as well as leading motorsports and lifestyle vendors, food and beverages, live music and family entertainment.

A lifelong gearhead who didn't fully immerse himself in motorcycles until his teenage years, Troy's interests have always been in technology, performance, and going fast. Naturally, racing was the perfect avenue to combine all three. Troy has been racing nearly as long as he's been riding and has competed at the AMA national level. He's also won multiple club races throughout the country, culminating in a Utah Sport Bike Association championship in 2011. He has been invited as a guest instructor for the Yamaha Champions Riding School, and when he's not out riding, he's either wrenching on bikes or watching MotoGP.
