PHOTO GALLERY: 2014 Quail Motorcycle Gathering

Check out the highlights from this year’s motorcycle show at The Quail.

So, you weren't able to make it out to The Quail Motorcycle Gathering last weekend? Not to worry, because our staff was there in good force. First, we organized the Cycle World Tour, a 50-mile ride for readers that took us all over the Monterey Peninsula, then we spent the rest of the day soaking up all the beautiful bikes on the lush lawn of the Quail Resort in Carmel Valley. Although we'll have more detailed coverage of The Quail Motorcycle Gathering soon, the following miscellaneous snapshots are a simple way to provide you with a taste of what it was like to be there. Enjoy!
