It seems like Portland’s weather was on it’s best behavior for the weekend of the One Motorcycle Show (Feb 8/9/10)- giving everyone (even fair weather riders) a chance to pull their bikes off the tenders, give ‘em a wash and ride them in to the show. Four years in a row now the One Show has attracted a variety of attendees. As it’s progressed the reach has stretched beyond motorcyclists to include designers, artists, and those who appreciate looking at pretty things. Which is basically everyone, right?

Thanks for that, Mayans.  More photos and fun stuff behind the cut below. It was definitely a good night.

HEY Y’ALL, WE SURVIVED THE APOCALYPSE! A very quick update on last night’s party before I go head down and help clean up, eat some good breakfast, and then clean up the mess that is my house.  I’m guestimating (from others’ opinions and my own) about 200 people, and 30 motorcycles.
