Large assembly of motorcycles in a residential area. Lack of background in the thin sliver of sky suggests the coast. Picture file name helps pin down when.
Taken together there's a strong suggestion of the event and the roof of the building next to the tree confirms it. |

Here is another hint: Since it was too cold/foggy this weekend to get the shot I wanted, I relied on archival footage....
BTW, there is computer store that helps with resurrecting laptop HDs, Right Next to Cafe Lambretta!!! Open on Sunday! gotta love it. Also: Shout Out to the South Bay peeps. \osc |

The picture of the Ritz hotel on their website verified the location (the small tower in the background) and the rest was easy, but I was worried that I was going to be beaten to it. What fun! I guess I'll have to think of a place now. Probably still in the South bay. Watch this space. cheers, Bob |

Way to go BurgerBob. I hope you snap a pic for us non-classic attending/gotta work people to go chase after this weekend.
Nice dragon by the way, I knew it wouldn't be long before we saw some custom paint on your new GTS. Burgerbob wrote: Well, that added some excitement to my day! Good hint, Oscillator! Cheers, Bob |
I've just returned from my picture taking mission. I have three shots, all within 20 miles of my home. Which one to choose? Whichever one it is, I'm afraid it's gonna be a longish ride for you, Dreaded, and all you North Bay types. Anyway, yesterday's ride for me was a 100 mile round trip! So here goes, this one chosen because it's on an entertaining stretch of road.
Cheers, Bob ![]() |

OK, ladies and gentlemen, it's a lovely morning for a ride, so here's another and possibly final clue: It's a park, the kind most of us would probably enjoy and don't forget what I said about the baby cow, or should I say, calf, that I met. So now go find it!
Cheers, Bob |

Congrats, Mike, I'm glad somebody finally got it! I was afraid my hints would make it too easy, but I guess i was wrong! Now, your new pic, I know I've ridden past that spot, but there are so many like it around here, I just can't place it. I will go hunting tomorrow!
Cheers, Bob |

As Mike said . . .
Quote: Those who know my haunts will find the tour... Those of you who attended Classico Moto Italia 11 this year would recognize it from the Saturday Morning ride from Battlescooter. Sierra Road, just up from Piedmont road. Mike and I traversed that road twice to make sure we had every twisty figured out. You see what the result was - a perfectly organized ride (no crashes or anyone left behind) w/ yours truly as the Enforcer/Blocker. |
