The Moto Melee XIV 2011

Moto Melee XIV 2011

It was a glorious weekend (June 24-27) and I was fortunate to ride in the 14th Moto Melee Vintage Motorcycle rally. I’ve heard tales about this vintage ride, whose humble beginnings were shrouded in mystery and more of a whisper among the knowledgeable and privileged few, as in the movie “Gumball Rally”, where participants got a gumball candy to indicate they were in and where to start. It’s now been written about and the legend of the ride has grown to almost epic proportions.
