Century Motorcycle located at 1640 S. Pacific Avenue has, for several decades, held a Father's Day get-together. Free food, music and a chance to show off vintage motorcycles bring hundreds of participants to the event. Century Motorcycles has been in business since 1936 and is family owned and operated. In this photograph, several motorcycles, including a Vincent H.R.D. motorcycle, and their riders are seen parked in front of The Bike Palace, which is fairly close in proximity to the Father's Day get-together gathering. The Bike palace, which opened its doors in the summer of 1973, is also very involved in the community offering group get-togethers for Saturday morning rides, weekday evening rides, and Friday night social cruise rides in and around San Pedro. This shop is located at 1600 S. Pacific Avenue. Photograph dated June 2001.
