hey guys, there's a bike show this saturday that promises to have some amazing bikes in it. it's all local builders, and it happening in a gallery with nice lights and all. i'll have my honda in it.

i tried uploading the flier to photobucket, but it's acting up so i'll attach it here. also, here's the link to their website:

So does it cost anything to come look?

paulages · « **Reply #2 on:** January 21, 2010, 09:20:51 am »

good question... i don't believe so. it's in an art gallery and i believe is being set up like an art show.

We are talking about it on the OVM (Oregon Vintage Motorcycles) web ring, also.
Here is a response from the promoter:

Hi Doug, Yeah, I'm a much better motorcyclist than a web programmer. Next
year if i can pull in a few more sponsors ill spiff the site up.
The show will take place in an old warehouse.
Right Now im expecting around 35-40 custom motorcycles. (all over the map)
Its a free show, the only thing you should bring some cash for is PBR.
i will have a motorcycle photo booth, so bring your bike.
parking will be tight which is another reason to ride.
Cheers, Thor.

So, Paul..... How come to flier doesn't mention Doomtown Wotor Woks??

Just giving you some #$%*.

Seriously, dude, I'm sure it'll be one of the best bikes there!

There were some bery nice bikes there tonight. Paul's bike looked great and had a really nice spot in a central location. Nice to see so many forum folks out. The first pic is for Mickey. I'll post a few of the goodies there tonight

coldright · « **Reply #9 on:** January 23, 2010, 11:39:43 pm »

Gah, I can't believe we charged up our camera and then forgot to bring it.

Paul definitely had one of the best bikes there and constantly had people all around it.

That Norton caught my eye pretty quickly. Thanks for posting it. The 3rd pic down is actually a steam powered cycle.

Really cool show and nice people all around. I'm glad we knew about it way ahead of time and planned out our day around it. Good showing there, Paul.

Nice to see many of the PDX part of the SOHC4 forum crowd there.

We got some really good ideas from a few 350 twins there, cafe'd, electronic ignition, all kinds of mods. I've got some things to think about on my own now.

See y'all later.

My apologies for crappy shots and repeats... there were alot of people there and it was hard to get good shots.

coldright · « **Reply #13 on:** January 24, 2010, 12:01:08 am »

Last, but not least, a couple of Paul's bikes. Hopefully he'll have some better pics to add tomorrow.

What's that under your bike paul?

coldright · « **Reply #15 on:** January 24, 2010, 12:01:02 pm »

I think that was there from last year.

Frankenkit · « **Reply #16 on:** January 24, 2010, 12:05:13 pm »

I actually parked my bike on Paul's spot to warm the podium up for him. Old bikes don't look right w/o grease spots under 'em.

on the front. alu on the rear.

Industrial Cafe · « **Reply #20 on:** January 24, 2010, 12:30:27 pm »

that's what I figured. it looks good like that.

Fido belongs to an old acquaintance of mine. Wonderful tattoo artist here in Portland named Mathew. You'll notice it says crashed, yea.....well......he accidentally rode it off a cliff $:-\$
Looks hella great NOW though doesn't it! That's a Bandit 1100 engine in a gsxr 650 frame? I don't think I'm exactly right but it's something ridiculous like that. That bike is absurd.....in a good way

I'm putting together my flckr photos of last nights show now. I'll be posting a link soon.

Ryan 550k · « **Reply #22 on:** January 24, 2010, 01:39:47 pm »

SO! Last night was a blast! Paul's bike looked BEAUTIFUL, lots of other very cool bikes there as well. Here's my flickr set from last nights Moto Show if anyone would like to see it.

http://www.flickr.com/photos/portlandvidkid/sets/72157623151704801/

It has some of the same bikes that coldright has posted as well as more. Also, there was a great photographer there last night who was taking photo's of anyone's bike if they were willing to wheel it in. I did and included it in my flickr set. Super nice guy.
With the right lighting even I don't look half bad

Paul, please tell me you got that photographer too shoot your bike.

they shot all the bikes in the show when we wheeled them in. they made the bikes look really good... i can't wait to get prints.

coldright · « **Reply #24 on:** January 24, 2010, 02:13:28 pm »

R550 - your shots are great, much better than mine with my crappy camera and low battery.

Speaking of the photo shoots... the two gentlemen with their shirts off on the all original 1946 HD were especially amusing. I think Paul wanted to go nekid, but we talked him out of it.

Clear coated steel in the front, aluminum in the rear... sounds like business in front, party in the rear.
