Annual European Motorcycle Classic
October 10
Larz Anderson Museum, Brookline, MA.
An estimated 5000 riders and spectators attended the Larz Anderson Classic/European Motorcycle Day last year. The event, now Boston's largest motorcycle show, was hosted by the Yankee Beemers Motorcycle Club as a benefit for the Museum of Transportation at Larz Anderson Park. Beautiful Indian Summer weather brings out many of the region's most exotic marques and their owners from ten surrounding states. The Museum's nineteenth century castle is the backdrop for a display of new and classic bikes from Aprilias to Vincents. Not to be missed.
Ride down and back on same day.
