Revel in the beauty of motorcycles at a special art show starting this month. The Fallbrook Art Center presents the third Wheels of Desire Motorcycle, Supercross & Motocross Show in the Janice Griffiths Gallery from July 11 through August 15.
This is a unique and special motorcycle exhibit for California in that it highlights the motorcycle as art, and features a wide variety of machines from the late 1800s to present time. Mary Perhacs, Executive Director of the Fallbrook Art Center, is excited about the lineup: “It has something for everyone, young and old, with motorcycles from all venues. The past two shows were not limited to the motorcycling public, but were heavily attended and lauded by many who had no previous interest in motorcycles,” she said. Featured are some of the rarest and most sensational motorcycles to be found in southern California. Some examples of the years and makes of the bikes to be presented will be a 1899 DeDion, 1917 Harley Davidson board tracker, 1947 Vincent Black Shadow, one of the first Hondas, and some modern custom motorcycles. A section of the show, sponsored by Monster Energy, is devoted to motocross/supercross for younger enthusiasts. “In the past motorcycles shows, visitors were thrilled to get up close and personal with the broad range of machines presented,” Perhacs said. continues on page 24
