Thor’s 60k Jump
…for science! Or… for the love of moto! Or simply because it’s fun to do things that aren’t maybe the best idea. Either way, Thor raised $50,000 to bring some amazing books to print… two years of the One Motorcycle Show. To entice investors, he said he’d jump over them for another 10k. He got it. Today, he jumped ‘em. The ramp said it all. After a few practice jumps and wheelies… and burnouts… It was time. Thor is victorious. And he should be. The wheels of that dirtbike are, how you… Continue Reading »
Thor (of See See) Jumps for 60k & the One Moto Books

You kind of meet the best people when that happens because shitty people don’t stop to help you.” – James Crowe… Continue Reading »
The One Motorcycle Show Books Vol. 1 & 2
While each facet of our everyday life has it’s own culture that is constantly developing, motorcycling is one that seems to have much room to grow. We are behind the times in some areas; ideals and standards were formed and are now being broken, however more often in some regions. More evident in motorcycle racing where the rules and regulations change rather frequently and are written and formal, other pockets and cliques of motorcycle community have unspoken norms that most people adhere to. Similar to the way we build societal norms dependent… Continue Reading »
The One Motorcycle Show 2013
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? Thor Drake has developed an inviting… Continue Reading »
