The Quail Motorcycle Gathering is pleased to honor three-time AMA Superbike National Champion Reg Pridmore as its Legend of the Sport. Pridmore gained valuable experience in the California club racing circuit before the AMA first recognized Superbike as a National Championship event in 1976. Pridmore went on to not only win the 1976 Superbike Championship, but also firmly established himself as a future AMA Hall of Famer by defending his title in 1977 and 1978. In the years since retiring from professional racing, Reg turned his energy towards the next generation of motorcyclists by starting CLASS Motorcycle Schools.
This year’s Legend of the Sport is Reg Pridmore, winner of the first AMA Superbike National Championship in 1976.
With live entertainment, lifestyle vendors, a signature beverage pavilion, and a dedicated kids area, The Quail Motorcycle Gathering is a true celebration of motorcycling. Entry includes a gourmet barbecue lunch, parking, and gear valet service for those riding a motorcycle to the event.
