He was a host at the "Legend of the Motorcycle" concourse that used to be held at the Ritz Carlton in Half Moon Bay. Kind of a Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance for motorcycles. I took pictures of it in 2007 and 2008:

I walked up to him and shook his hand- he was gracious. He later crashed his Vincent Black Shadow on Skyline, the scenic road nearby when he caught a pothole, but wasn't seriously injured. CA's roads suck a lot.
