The Second Annual Legend of the Motorcyle was bigger and better this year -- more bikes and more people. More than 300 antique and special interest motorcylces were on display along with artwork. Starting with a 1898 Werner one-cylinder and ending with 2007 turbo-charged and and electric-powered bikes, there was something here that represented the art of the motorcycle for more than 100 years. See photos below. Lots more photos of the event are on my store site which you can reach by clicking the link to the right.

Ace Cafe London's Ride with the Rockers participants approach Half Moon Bay on the way to Saturday's Second Annual Legends of the Motorcycle event at the Ritz-Carlton Hotel.
Classic bike fans were pouring into the Ritz in Half Moon Bay, Calif., on Friday evening for what is quickly becoming recognized as a premiere world event for vintage and other collectable motorcycles. The riders above made a two-day trip from LA on vintage bikes to commemorate the event. The Ace Cafe is legendary for being one of the centers of cafe racing and, of course, a hangout for the Mods and Rockers of British bike fame.
I will be taking pictures at the event and post them tomorrow night.

Weather permitting, I plan to shoot pix of the riders in the Ride With the Rockers run which will approach Half Moon Bay this evening. Sponsored by the famous Ace Cafe London, the run left LA on Thursday, partied in San Luis Obispo last night and will arrive today in Half Moon Bay, probably soggy from the ride up CA 1 through Big Sur. Oh well, it is a British-inspired event and we wouldn't want the weather to be too nice, would we? Check back tonight.
By the way, weather for The Legend of the Motorcycle on Saturday is expected to be sunny.
