We were thinking a lot about Mr. Plato’s words on the image of a table. The idea is perfect and the product; susceptible to elements and unknown factors, could never be perfect. The idea for us was the One Motorcycle: the stripped down, real deal, simple machine. It was then that we realized we knew a handful of motorcycle builders that in turn knew a handful of builders who all specialize in that ‘ONE’ type of bike. From there, the idea grew. Our theme for the show would be “The One Motorcycle.” </em></strong><em>(</em><a href="http://theonemotorcycleshow.com/"><em>theonemotorcycleshow.com</em></a>)</p> </blockquote> <p>When I located NE 9th and Flanders, I had to circle Sandbox Studios a couple times to find parking. Car after car lined the blocks with motorcycles in the spaces between. Throaty purring and shrill screeching of engines echoed down the streets, bouncing off industrial buildings… a tell tale sign that I was in the right place. As I walked around the corner, an exceptionally loud Japanese engine screamed while someone cranked the throttle. A young couple in artsy clothing approached, the woman clinging tightly to the man with a somewhat hesitant smile and nervous laugh, “…Are you sure you want to do this?” They trotted on as if she were only joking. </p> <p><a href="http://themotolady.com/post/17534064212/the-one-motorcycle-show-2012">Read More</a></p> </blockquote>http://blog.factorynorth.com/post/17566192458http://blog.factorynorth.com/post/17566192458Mon, 13 Feb 2012 16:05:02 -0500<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lz5a4fb5bE1qjnxcio1_500.png"/><br/><br/><p><a href="http://chopbutchery.com/">CHOP</a> won <a href="http://dillpickleclub.org/2012/02/06/test-event-1-2/">Portland’s Perfect Pickle</a> for the 2nd year in a row.
