The One Motorcycle Show in Portland Feb.10-11
Wednesday, February 01, 2012
If you're going to be in the Portland, OR, area on Feb. 10-11, be sure to check out The One Motorcycle Show where there will be a unique collection of motorcycles, artwork inspired by motorcycles, and the Bell 21 Helmets showcase. Admission is free.
Thor Drake of SeeSee Motorcycles is getting ready to throw his annual shindig up in Portland.
The One Motorcycle Show is quickly becoming the consummate hipster biker event fueled by plenty of PBR, rat bikes and café racers with interesting stories, and spontaneous burn-out contests.
One of the cool things about the One is instead of blinged-out showbikes, the motorcycles entered in the show are usually garage projects, vintage restorations, old racers and daily riders. Drake encourages people to bring in bikes that have interesting stories behind them and builders are encouraged to share the story behind their construction. They're even holding a best story contest where stretching the truth isn't only allowed, it's expected! The show is expanding to two days this year, if everybody’s not too hung over from Friday!
For the 2012 show, over 75 custom bikes will be on display. There will also be motorcycle-inspired art work and a custom painted motorcycle helmet show. The 21 Helmets showcase features the work of local artists who have used a Bell Custom 500 helmet as their palette. Admission is free, the PBR will be cold, and music will fill the walls of the Sandbox Studio PDX in Portland.
If you’re going to be in the Portland area that weekend, be sure to check it out. The address in 420 NE 9th Ave., Portland, OR 97523. Friday it starts at 5 p.m. with an estimated ending at midnight. The next day, doors will open at noon and close at 10. For more info, email
