This year’s Legend of the Sport is Reg Pridmore, winner of the first AMA Superbike
National Championship in 1976.
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.
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.
