BayMotoPhoto is heading to Nevada for the Street Vibrations Fall Rally 2026, and we couldn’t be more excited! This will be our first time photographing this legendary motorcycle event, and we’re looking forward to meeting riders from across Nevada, California and beyond.
Our current plan is to set up along Geiger Grade Road on the way to Virginia City, where we’ll capture professional action photos of riders making their way through the beautiful Virginia Range.
If you’re searching for a Street Vibrations photographer, watch for BayMotoPhoto and our “Photographer Ahead” signs. Ride past our cameras, remember approximately what time you saw us and then visit our website later that same day to find your photos.
BayMotoPhoto Is Coming to Street Vibrations Fall Rally 2026
Street Vibrations has been celebrating motorcycles and the open road since 1993. The event brings thousands of motorcycle enthusiasts to Reno, Carson City and Virginia City for scenic rides, live entertainment, custom bikes, vendors and plenty of motorcycle culture.
We’ve heard great things about Street Vibrations for years, so we’re excited to finally experience it—and photograph it—for ourselves.
There’s something special about capturing riders out on the road instead of standing next to a parked motorcycle. Our goal is to give you a professional photograph that shows you doing what you came to Nevada to do: riding.

A Few Fun Facts About Virginia City
Virginia City is more than a scenic destination—it’s one of the most storied towns in the American West.
The town rose to fame following the discovery of the Comstock Lode in 1859, one of the most important silver discoveries in American history. Virginia City grew rapidly into a booming mining community with approximately 25,000 residents at its peak.
The wealth produced by the Comstock Lode helped shape Nevada, contributed to the growth of San Francisco and played a role in earning Nevada its “Silver State” nickname.
Virginia City also played an important part in the career of Mark Twain. Before becoming one of America’s most famous writers, he worked as a journalist for Virginia City’s Territorial Enterprise.
Today, visitors can still walk wooden boardwalks, visit historic saloons, explore old mines and ride the Virginia & Truckee Railroad. The town sits high in the Virginia Range, nearly 2,000 feet above Reno by way of Geiger Grade, with incredible views stretching across the surrounding landscape.
