THE QUAIL MOTORCYCLE GATHERING
Back stronger than ever, the 2022 Quail Motorcycle Gathering once again showed why it’s the best bike event on the west coast
After an achingly long three-year hiatus, The Quail Motorcycle Gathering finally returned to the Quail Lodge & Golf Club in Carmel, Calif., on Saturday, May 14, 2022. And boy, were enthusiasts happy. Really happy! One way to tell was by the attendance, a record 3,200 this year. But the best method was observing peoples’ faces and hearing their voices and laughter. “Motorcycles always represent a sense of direction and purpose in our lives,” says event founder Gordon McCall, “but there was clearly an extra sense of gratefulness this time. Observing everything, what hit home for me was how important it is for people to get out there and share what they are doing with their bikes, projects and adventures.”
As previously, the event offered qualified entrants the chance to simply display their bikes on the green, or else submit them for judging in hopes of winning what have become hugely prestigious awards. Led by Somer Hooker, a premium judging team scrutinized machines in over a dozen categories. These included American, Antique, BMW /5 Series, British, Choppers, Competition, Custom/ Modified, Harley-Davidson XR750, Italian, Japanese, Mini Bikes, Scooters, TwoStrokes and more.
The Custom/ Modified class drew the most entrants and produced the Best of Show, a sensational Vincent Rapide-powered lowboy created by Max Hazan (see page 59). Additionally, the AMA Motorcycle Hall of Fame Heritage Award chosen by AMA Hall of Famers went to The Revival Fuse, a striking minimalist Ducati sprinter. Then at midday, McCall honored customizer Roland Sands as a Legend of the Sport.
Since its 2009 inception, The Quail Motorcycle Gathering has supported selected charities monetarily through silent-auction proceeds. This year’s charities included the California Cadet Corps youth and community program, the Monterey County Youth Museum’s experiential “MY Museum,” and the Naval Postgraduate School Alumni.
We hope you’ll enjoy the motorcycles and people on the following pages as much as we enjoyed discovering and bringing them to you. And then, quite absolutely, we’ll see you next year!

THE QUAIL
Bottom: Each year at the Quail a group of AMA Hall of Famers picks an AMA HOF Heritage Award winner, and this year it was Mike Corbin and Craig Vetter — with help from HOF Design and Engineering Category Committee chair John McCoy — choosing this 2006 Ducati Fuse custom bike built by the folks at Austin, Texas’ Revival Cycles. Aside from the Ducati Monster engine, the machine is hand-built, and the level of detail, engineering prowess and finish quality is astonishing. From the alloy bodywork to the from-billet swingarm, hand-fabbed exhaust and everything in between, it’s motorized, twowheeled eye candy of the first order.

THE ALLOY ’MILER
Terry Kaluza dreamt of owning an XR750 for nearly 50 years. Then he found the perfect one.
You know you’ve married right when you both agree that the Harley-Davidson XR750 flat-tracker you just bought should live in the bedroom. This may sound like a fairytale marriage, but it just so happens to be true for Terry and Cyndi Kaluza.
After seeing the factory-built XRs run on the Sacramento and San Jose Miles in the 1970s, Terry always wanted one, and finally got
TERRY KALUZA
inspired to start searching about five years ago. But it had to be a highly original 1972 example, the first year of the XR’s alloy cylinder heads — a huge developmental milestone. As it happens, Harley-Davidson’s race shop built entire XR750 race bikes — about 540 or so in all — from the origins of the overhead-valve model in 1970 until 1980, when The Motor Company narrowed production to include XR engines only.
In 2020, Terry found the bike seen here at a dealership in Champaign, Ill. It had been restored after reportedly being first campaigned by a Michigan dealership. “The shop owner had acquired a few XRs and VRs from an estate but all were sold before I learned about them,” he reveals. “He then told me he’d kept the best XR for himself but had just decided to sell it too. That was my lucky day! He sent a few pictures and I immediately bought it. When the bike arrived, I found it was even better than he said!”
So good was the XR that it immediately relegated two other Harleys to the Kaluzas’ workshop, including a 1941 WR hill-climber and a 1948 WR flat-track bike. At the Quail, judges voted it the best HarleyDavidson XR750 within that special class. Now what’s the hardest thing about owning this show winner? “It’s so tempting to start it up,” Terry admits. “But I will resist as long as I can!”
WHY SHE RIDES
Research scientist Kristen Skvorak’s passion for YSR50 racing won her the Why We Ride Award
Seeing Kristen Skvorak happily sitting aboard her 1987 Yamaha YSR50, you might guess she’s a racer…but not that she holds a PhD in human genetics and develops therapies for rare diseases. So, what brought Dr. Skvorak to the Quail? A chance encounter with a loaner YSR50 on the kart track at BeaveRun near Pittsburgh back in 2004. Weeks after completing Motorcycle Safety Foundation training, she’d gone with her boyfriend Ryan to see what racing was all about, and a club member offered up a race-prepped YSR50 and leathers.
“As a brand-new motorcyclist, when I first got out on the track I was pretty nervous and unsure of myself,” she admits. “And everyone said I should have been riding a John Deere because I was in the grass so much!” After completing the 2004 season on the loaner bike, the hook was set, and for the 2005 season Kristen bought the 1987 YSR50 shown here. “I’m pretty competitive and like to push myself,” she adds. “Since crashing is part of that, I wanted to get my own YSR50 so I didn’t feel like I was destroying someone else’s bike.” That carried her to a Most Improved Rider award, and just two years later to the Stock YSR championship.
The bike was a stripped-down, rattle-can racer, so Kristen gradually improved it — and her mechanical skills. “I’ve split the engine, replaced bearings and seals, changed tires, rebuilt the brake caliper, fork and carb,” she says. “All this handson experience made me more comfortable doing the maintenance on my other motorcycles as well.”
Now after 50-plus events, Kristen’s YSR50 experience is about way more than racing. “It brings me confidence, is a stress reliever, and is both challenging and rewarding,” she says. “And it’s where I’ve met a lot of the best people I know.”
McQUEEN’S MINI
Commissioned by Steve McQueen and built by Von Dutch, this Honda is the King of Cool Minis
There is way more to this little sunflower-yellow 1969 Honda Mini Trail than meets the eye. One clue is the cool metal tank badges, which carry the name Solar Productions — the film company owned by Steve McQueen, the “King of Cool,” during his Hollywood reign. Three more are engraved side cases, a miniature replica acetylene headlight, and custom paintwork — including a discrete “Von Dutch” logo — handpainted on the front fender by the legendary beatnik artist, McQueen’s personal friend and collaborator.
Here’s the basic story: McQueen had commissioned Von Dutch to customize the Mini Trail for Mitch Vogel, a kid actor in Solar Productions’ 1969 film The Reivers. Just 12 years old at the time, Vogel was delighted and rode his new Mini Vegas auction a half-century later.
Surprised to find the Mini Trail up for grabs, motorcycle friends Hugh O’Neill and Matt Torrens quickly made a pact to buy it together. “We both wanted the bike, but did not want to bid against each other,” O’Neill explains. “I took over the bidding and won the bike, and now we have ‘joint custody.’” The price was $20,900.
Thanks to O’Neill and Torrens’ passion for history, Quail attendees got to see it in person at the bike’s first-ever show appearance. There, the Mini Trail remained just as Vogel had left it. “I just gave it a very careful, ‘gentle’ cleaning,” O’Neill notes. “I did not want to compromise the patina or damage any of Von Dutch’s art.” With O’Neill’s background in engineering and manufacturing, and Torrens’ career as a sculptor, the Mini Trail is certainly now in good hands.
Trail on the studio lot, at McQueen’s property, and at home. Showing good intuition, after outgrowing the Honda he stashed it safely in his garage, where it remained until its appearance at Mecum’s 2020 Las
REBORN BOXER
With a decade of diligence, Stephen Burns made his 50-year-old Toaster Tank as good as new
The “favorite bike” of a longtime Tennessee enthusiast, this 1972 BMW R75/5 was parked with a mysterious engine knock many years ago and left to molder. Unfortunately, the machine slumbered in a less-thanhospitable environment, and when California BMW fan Stephen Burns received the “Toaster Tank” he’d adopted for $1,000 in 2012, he began to doubt the wisdom of buying sightunseen. “The photos did not show all the issues,” he sighs. “The bike had significant wear and tear, the tank and headlight bucket were dented, and it was rusty. Honestly, it looked like it had been sitting in a barn, and I suspect it was.”
As a website and SEO manager, Stephen knows how to research, manage and complete projects, so after realizing the extent of the bike’s problems, he dove straight in. “I decided immediately that if I was going to do this, I would do it right the first time,” he explains. “After I placed the motorcycle on my lift I started removing parts one by one. My first goal was getting the frame painted as that was the foundation of the whole project. Then I took all the not-soshiny parts to a local chroming and plating shop to get them looking like new.”
Next up, the wheels went off to get re-spoked and polished, the fork was rebuilt, and a specialty BMW shop put the engine and Bing carburetors right. Stephen sent the rumpled tank to a metalworking shop, and with that repair complete, delivered all bodywork for paint and striping. “Over nine years, I slowly put the parts back together,” he says. “It was daunting, and I would sometimes lay awake at night wondering if I was ever going to finish. But completing the project was satisfying, and it made me realize something: Problem solving — it’s what I enjoy doing.”
STEPHEN BURNS
THE BARN FIND
After languishing for some 80 years, this 1916 H-D is up and running again
Because Doug McKenzie had long wanted a true barn find with a solid history that could become a runner, he was excited to find this 1916 Harley-Davidson Model 16F at Bonhams’ 2019 Las Vegas auction. But there was one problem: The estimate was much higher than he was willing to pay. However, on some days fate turns on a dime. “When bidding slowed at one-third of the low estimate I got involved, and a few bids later I owned it,” Doug says of his $34,500 purchase. “That was exciting for me, but I am pretty sure the seller was hoping for more.”
After bringing the bike home, Doug conducted a thorough assessment. “The motorcycle was owned by one family since new and was last run in about 1940,” he says. “It was missing its seat post, muffler and tailpipe, the rod that adjusts the timing and compression release, the rack, headlight lens and acetylene tank. It was also missing the rear tire, and the front tire was completely without rubber — just shreds of tattered fabric. It would not roll and had to be

moved with a dolly.”
Undeterred, he set about getting it running. “I am not a fan of fake patinas at all, so preserving the barnfind patina was my No. 1 goal,” he admits, noting that there was plenty of it. “The bike was rusty, rusty, rusty. When I removed the gas tank, I filled a 22-ounce cup with the rust inside, and there were more frozen chain links than free ones.”
Carefully solving these and other challenges ultimately produced a running and ridable 106-year-old survivor Harley-Davidson. “Starting it is fairly simple,” Doug explains. “Just turn on gas petcock, set the choke, slightly retard the timing and it usually starts on the second or third kick — unless people are watching!”
BEST OF SHOW
Max Hazan’s double award-winning Vincent custom shows what one man with a plan can do
When it comes to bike building, sometimes there’s a fine line between inspiration and insanity. And with the radical Vincent shown here, builder Max Hazan definitely pushes that point. The project began when his client Mike acquired a group of bikes, including a basket-case 1951 Rapide. “We were initially going to build a custom and leave the motor stock, but that idea went out the window once Mike saw another wild custom that I had made,” Max says. “He literally said ‘Build anything you want’ — so I did!”
At the Quail Motorcycle Gathering, the end result took two awards, including Design and Style and Best of Show. Witnessing the bike in person, the question “How in the world?” comes to mind. “My vision was ‘simple, clean and coherent’ in this case, but I design as I go,” Max begins. “I started by mounting the engine to a table at ride height and selecting tires that fit the project. I then built the whole bike around the engine and wheels, and the design emerged throughout the process.”
To get an idea of what Max created, consider that the only stock Rapide parts included are the crankcases. He designed and manually machined the big front brake and wheel rims, and the frame, fork and minimalist bodywork. Max even designed and built special carburetors. “I wanted carbs that looked elegant and well-proportioned, but I also wanted a challenge,” he explains. For aesthetics, fuel is delivered by a custom diaphragm setup that eliminates float bowls.
Prior to the final build, Max put about 300 miles on the bike, and reports that it runs great, is pretty quick and stops well, but is “not all that comfortable.” As a fulltime builder, though, his greatest pleasure was “seeing Mike’s face at the Quail after winning Best of Show!”
RENAISSANCE MAN
How Craig Vetter, America’s most influential motorcycle designer, got started — and what still excites him today
AMA Motorcycle Hall of Fame inductee Craig Vetter needs little introduction. A prominent figure in motorcycle design for most of his life, at one time his enterprise, Vetter Fairing Company of Rantoul, Ill., was ranked just behind HarleyDavidson in economic productivity. By introducing fairings to the market in volume, the company transformed everyday motorcycles into comfortable and efficient tourers.
The motivation for this, he said at the Quail, was his lifelong mission of “doing more with less.” Vetter’s inventiveness arrived early. “At 8, my first vehicle was a Radio Flyer wagon,” he recalls. “One day I found another one that was missing its front wheels. So, I bolted them together and said, ‘Now let’s find a dog to tow us.’” Craig and his friends never found a sled-dog, but the exercise shows Vetter’s penchant for improving efficiency.
Jump ahead a decade and a half, and Craig was a college grad attending design school aboard a Yamaha YM1, a 305cc two-stroke street twin. “That bike is the reason I designed a fairing,” he explains. “The idea stemmed from my first tour on it in 1966, riding from Illinois to Aspen to attend a conference.” Although Vetter had ample riding experience, at the time he didn’t know much about fairings — nor the westerly winds that sweep across the Great Plains.
“While riding into the wind, I couldn’t even go 65 mph without lying flat on the tank,” he admits. “But when a big truck passed me in Kansas and I tucked in behind it, suddenly there was no wind. At that moment I knew I could go faster, be more comfortable and burn less gas with a fairing. When I got home from Colorado I made the Series 1000, my first fairing design.” An airplane fan since childhood, Vetter incorporated aerodynamic forms that worked in aviation. (Fun fact: To help publicize his fledgling product, he laminated business cards into the fiberglass.)
The frame-mounted Series 1000 was a good learning experience, but the grand-slam of Vetter’s subsequent fairing designs was the Windjammer series that debuted in 1971. Bike manufacturers typically didn’t offer OE fairings at the time, so if you wanted a touring bike, you created it yourself. A half-million customers agreed, buying Windjammers and making the name synonymous with touring. And more importantly, thanks to Vetter’s longago trip on his little Yamaha, the entire
motorcycle industry evolved.
With the godfather of American motorcycle design in the house — or more accurately, on the Quail event field — the AMA was honored to spend some time with him reviewing the machines in the Custom/Modified class. “I’m so impressed with how this thing is done,” he says about one particularly rakish cafe racer. “There’s good taste and workmanship going on here, but it’s a long, flat motorcycle and I don’t want a flat motorcycle. I think they should catch your eye and make you want to go sit on it and go for a ride.”
This is an important clue about how Craig Vetter beholds motorcycles — on a practical level. He validated this in comments about another machine, a delicate postwar custom. “To me, this bike is for looking at and dreaming about, but not really for taking to the grocery store or anything,” he confides. “It’s wonderfully done, but I think a custom bike should be something that you’d use.” Functionality, check.
Then a 2015 Ducati Hyper Scrambler built by Hugo Eccles catches Vetter’s eye. “This bike looks very strong and simple, like it will last forever,” he begins. “The frame is everything here; it has great big orange tubes, and the rest of the bike is sort of bolted onto it. The frame’s mostly covered up on most motorcycles, but this frame isn’t. And everything is off of it that stylists put on for decoration. The bike also looks usable, like it would feel right if you sat on it.”
Then Craig’s attention turns to the wheels, gray with a single lateral orange stripe on each rim. “Usually when you see a motorcycle driving, the wheels are all fuzzy because they’re turning,” he notes. “But here, the stripes would allow you to see the wheels turn, and they’re the same color as the frame. This would be a fun bike to ride, and it would stun a lot of people.”
After we move away, Craig Vetter stops. “To me, out here today, that’s the most impressive bike,” he says. “It’s absolutely attractive and distinctive and would draw attention anywhere. Let’s go look at it again!” AMA
Motorcycle designer, enthusiast and racer Craig Vetter was a talented pioneer in fairing design, aerodynamics and fuel efficiency. His fairing designs changed the course of touring-bike design in the ‘70s. Vetter was inducted into the AMA Motorcycle Hall of Fame in 1999.
