The Quail Motorcycle Show in Carmel, California is a big hit annually. This year, in addition to nearly 400 show motorcycles, they had a special display dedicated to Military Motorcycles. There were various Harley and Indian and BMW, but also a few Zundapp and Nimbus and Condor. I was the lone Military representative from Italy with my SuperAlce. Also the only Guzzi Single on display.

Someone else posted artistic B&W pics of my bike:

Some of the things at this show are VERY exotic and expensive.

And then someone's creative idea of a Ducati:

It was a good time. My friend Larry and I rode the ride the previous day, also good. First time I've had a conversation with Gene Romero. Yahoo.
It's a nice bunch of people and machines from all over the spectrum, we were treated very well. Showy but not too showy.
It seems to be successful financially and I hope so. I will be back next year.
