Many car shows describe themselves as a “Concours d’Elegance,” but there is only one motorcycle event in that category, and that is The Quail Motorcycle Gathering, at Quail Lodge in Carmel Valley, California. [Read more…] about The Quail Motorcycle Gathering, 2015

The other day we received that special issue of Lanciana long in the making. It is not really a book but a club publication, nor is this article really a review. This edition of Lanciana is an updated reprint of the 1977 issue and is a compendium of articles and authors. Leafing through it was a delightful visit of old acquaintances, friends, and contributors to VeloceToday.
Steve Snyder himself, for example. Now 80 years old, Snyder has lived a life of Lancias, and in addition to his work to re-launch the classic Lancianas, he has been assisting Brandes Elitch and this editor with a new VeloceToday Select book, “The Lancia Loraymo”, which should be in print later this year. His experiences with the odd-duck Loewy Lancia are unique and unforgettable. In the meantime, his work on the Lanciana reprint is much needed and appreciated. [Read more…] about Lanciana and Friends
