Spirits and Spokes at Montgomery Distillery

Sunday afternoon saw classic racing (and non-racing) motorcycles from around Missoula magically appear at Montgomery Distillery on Front Street.
All manner of speed and special bikes were on display for the discerning motorcyclists in attendance to ogle and cast votes for Best in Show honors.
Morto’s H-D salt racer / trike hauler combo took the top spot hands-down. Ryan Montgomery expressed “We had a great day today, even though it was hot!” Fortunately, inside the Distillery’s tasting room, the staff were ready with equally unique cool icy beverages to cool down all who ventured downtown for the show.
Check out the photo gallery below for images of all the amazing bikes that turned out for Spokes and Spirits on Sunday at Montgomery Distillery.
