1605 San Pablo Ave, outside Kermit Lynch Wine Merchant.

On this spot, the first Spagthorpe Motorcycle Company dealership in the United States. This retail location opened in 1898 to the delight of motorcycle enthusiasts who appreciated creative engineering over comfort and safety. Their motto, "Riding is not about destinations, but the adventures in getting there."
