hey Portland folks:

we're moving shop in december, and will have a few parking spaces available if anyone needs a dry, safe place to park during the rainy times. spaces are $25, and are secure. we're pretty central, near 19th and sandy. PM me if interested.

So, I need some help. I'm in bad need of a good Philly cheese steak sandwich. I heard of a place on Sandy at 150something that has good ones and even carries Tastykakes too. Anyone know where I'm talking about? I need a fix or I'm gonna have to stow away in the cargo of a plane and fly to PA. I'm not kidding.

Philadelphia's in Sellwood has the best steaks in Portland, as far as I'm concerned; Tastykakes, too.

They also brew their own beer, though not very well in my opinion.

ah, that's what I'm talkin bout.

One of the people at work heard of Grants on sandy but wasn't sure if they are still there. Thanks.

Got my key cut today at the locksmith shack in the parking lot of Fred Meyer on 28th and Broadway. There was a little confusion of whether I said "B" or "D" in the code, but once we worked that out, got 2 keys that work! $20 for the first one and $4 for each copy after that. Seems like they could make most Honda keys with code from the ignition cylinder.

Congrats man. Just in time to take a ride in the HUGE balls of hail coming down outside as I type this.

It's not hailing right now so we're heading over to Philly for some mushroom cheese steaks. Thanks again for the tip. If it's any good, I may have to move closer to that place.

Howdy all,
just wanted to shout out another sohc 4 owner hailing from Portland with a 75 cb400f. I'll definitely keep an eye on this thread as the weather improves and hopefully will get to meet some folks.

I'm currently procrastinating doing the winter work needed on the bike - having a new front wheel built and figuring out if I have a cam chain problem or not.

That being said, if there's anyone who is willing to listen to my bike and let me know if the sounds like the cam chain is loose, I would appreciate that deeply.. I have no basis for reference, but it certainly doesn't sound like I think it should. I have been unable to get it to stop sounding like a rattletrap mess by any cam chain adjustment methods I can find, and I'm convinced the plunger is stuck, so getting a second opinion before I tear the motor down would be great, if anyone can offer that.

Yay for motorcycles!

Come by the shop sometime. Just PM me or Paulages and ask us if we are going to be around on an evening you'd like to drop by.

There is a little shop near my house. Does anyone know anything about Moto Factory? They work on older bikes.

yes, reputable as far as i know. i knew oliver when he worked at vicious, but haven't made it over there since they opened up. one of the only other places in town that will work on 70's hondas.

coldright · « **Reply #119 on:** February 13, 2010, 04:17:41 PM »

Oliver at Moto-Factory is a good guy, my friend Duncan (Starkmojo here) takes his 750 into him for all of his work. Nice guy, clean shop, German sensibility. PM Starkmojo for further recommendation.

magista · « **Reply #120 on:** February 13, 2010, 08:47:52 PM »

Good to hear.

I always like riding by and seeing the bikes out front. Nice to have a shop so close by...My 500F will most likely make it's way over there at some point.

I heard some guy named Paulages does good work.

Hey Portland folks......got more sunshine nowadays, isn't it about time for some sort of spring kickoff event yet? Maybe meet at Timberline for a "Snow to Sand" run to the beach? or a rally/race around the mountain? Spring break's not that far off for all you student types....

Staggerlee · « **Reply #123 on:** March 16, 2010, 07:48:45 AM »

The Flying Fifteen's Spring Opener is this Sunday:

The Flying 15 Motorcycle Club welcomes you to the 14th Annual Spring Opener Rally on Sunday, March 21, 2010. Once again we will be starting off at Kelly’s Olympian located at 425 SW Washington St. in Portland. Three blocks of free parking will be reserved for rally participants so motorcycle parking is never a problem. Registration starts at 10:00am, but come early for hot coffee and breakfast specials. Ride starts at 11:00am with the last bike out at 12:00. Registration fee is a $10 donation and will include a poker run card, ride map, event pin and free pass to the after party. Additional poker hands can be purchased for $5 each. The first 200 to register will be entered to win a $500 prize package. As usual, all makes and models are welcome to this and all FFMC events.

Anybody else planning on making it?

Grnrngr · « **Reply #124 on:** March 16, 2010, 08:17:15 AM »

Heh...looks like I started whining a couple hours too early....I'll be there. and Thanks for the notice!!
