And One On The Pricey Side
I had never heard of this before but it recently came to my attention: the 18th Annual Morgan Adams Concours d’Elegance.
This is not strictly a motorcycle event but it does include motorcycles. Held each year at Centennial Airport, it features aircraft, cars, and motorcycles. This thing is a fundraiser and as such it is a posh event. A single ticket is $250, so the majority of us who are not independently wealthy will give it a pass. If $250 is no big deal you might want to check it out.The list of bikes that will be on display is impressive:
