This was the second of the 10 annual H.A. toy rides that the Vampires have attended. Last year the ride was from Seaside to Monterey via the Carmel Valley. This year the ride originated in Prunedale and went to the H.A. clubhouse in Salinas before returning to Prunedale for food and music. Admission to the ride was in the form of a toy -- donated to a local charity.
Like the year before, this event was primarily a Harley ride but we steadfastly attended on our various Hondas, a BMW, a Yamaha, and James on his Lambretta. The scooter sure attracted a lot of attention as he pulled into the lot filled with perhaps 500 American motorcycles.
