For the past several years the bike contingent has been small in number but huge in quality of bikes. Gino Londi, Charles Andrews, Matt Gorski and myself brought out some of our favorites, and though not planned, these bikes were a comprehensive representation of race bikes from the '20s -'70s. The bikes were well received by the car and motorcycle guys who puzzled over the Vittoria Margheritas and Cambio Corsas, and reminisced over the '50s, '60s and '70s bikes of their youth. Admission at the gate is $10, but the entry fee to have a bike there is also $10 and you can get in early to watch the cars roll in. If you appreciate fine machinery, motorized or not, try to attend. This year's featured marques are Porsche and Vincent motorcycles. More info here:

Nope... I'll be at the Rose Bowl that day for a vintage bike ride.
I have to tell you, given the choice of viewing vintage cars, vintage motorcycles and vintage bicycles, I'd spend all my time viewing the cars and motorcycles. (I've seen all you guys bikes ;) In my experience bikes take a real back seat when shown with vintage cars and motorcycles.
