2008 Legend of the Motorcycle
If you want to see the best of the best in legendary vintage cars, the Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance is the place to be; for motorcycles it's the Legend of the Motorcycle show held at the Ritz-Carlton in Half Moon Bay, California.
Attendees might be surprised to find this was only the third year of the Legend of the Motorcycle. The event's organizers do a great job, and the invitation-only selection of motorcycles provided endless opportunity for delight and amazement.
There were almost 300 motorcycles on display and the estimated crowd of 6,000 people raised raised thousands of dollars for charity. The weather was cool with some fog, presumably to make the British motorcycles feel at home. The featured marques of MV Agusta and Norton were well represented and MV Agusta factory racers Giacomo Agostini and Phil Read were on hand - creating an opportunity to meet legendary motorcycle racers while taking in the legendary motorcycles.
