Today while out on a ride, Justin and I spotted a few bikes pulling up to this cute Tavern up on Skyline (one of the more popular riding roads in Portland). We went back to grab some coffee and see what it was about. Turns out, it’s freaking awesome!
From the outside, it looks unassuming and quaint… and it is, but it’s also so much more. An old school “Saloon” sign dons the front of the old west styled building.
Two big Harleys, a single cylinder BSA, and a vintage Yamaha were parked outside. Inside, Justin and I grabbed some coffee.
Soon thereafter we met Jerry, one of the photo journalists of Rose City Hog (website)- who had a pretty amusing helmet. He obliged my request for a photo.
The inside of the place is really pretty awesome.
Andy, the owner, said he doesn’t have any idea what this Kangaroo sign means.
And I just love the old western feel. Out back there’s a big BBQ pit, horseshoes, dark board, ping pong table, great view… and tons of space.
If you’re ever in Portland, and want a destination… stop by!
Mary McGee is a pioneer in American motorcycle racing, thanks to her untamable determination and a spirit as warm as her smile. Her excitement for motorcycling, especially racing, is contagious even in her eighties. She was the first woman to receive an FIM racing license in the United States, first woman to complete the Baja 1000, and the first woman to race the Baja 500 solo. These aren’t her only firsts, either. She was also the first woman in motocross and road racing in the States. McGee was rightly inducted into the AMA Hall of Fame in 2018.
