, another gem of an event slips quietly into Carmel Valley every spring with far less fanfare. The Quail Motorcycle Gathering is like a two-wheeled equivalent of the hot indie rock band opening for the headliner—lesser known, but no less cool.. The Carmel resident and motorcycle lover sees bikes as a common tie that binds. “The event is a reflection of the motorcycle community,” he told.
Powered by an inline-four engine that’s descended from the 1911 Henderson, this model features elaborate engineering and premium craftwork that priced it out of reach for most enthusiasts in the 1920s. The beautifully tidy example on display received a well-earned top prize in the Antique Class 1935 and Earlier category, bolstering the reputation of these once underappreciated bikes.
Interestingly, “Miller” was incorporated to the manufacturer name because the company’s Italian founders thought the British-sounding moniker would make their motorcycles more sellable. Unfortunately for the boutique firm, World War II brought a swift end to production before it could gain notoriety. Owner John Goodman says he only knows of three such bikes, making his award-winning machine all the more remarkable.
“We didn’t see a lot of checkered flags,” Rainey recalls, “but we did look cool.” Rainey’s career would eventually speak to his natural-born talent, as he accumulated 94 starts, 24 wins, and three 500 cc Grand Prix championships. Here at the Quail, Rainey said he got “a little emotional” when his humble Mini Enduro 60 was fired up. “I can definitely feel my dad’s presence,” he added.
