the one (the juan) show. portland oregon 2014.

i like this show. i like the city and what it has to offer. doesn't seem to serious but lots of beautiful bikes and friendly people. old friends and new friends. a level of respect. a foot of snow. overturned big rigs, the most stunning brick building with the -king row-.  dennis's birthday. mark drews bikes. some chopper kings feeling out of place cause it wasn't a chopper circle jerk. pizza. tits. andy forgash and cuda hospitality. hashtag=babes. you know what is weird when people can make friends on line but don't have the gumption to just say HI in person. but lets be positive. this show is good. kinda a brooklyn inv feel. Thor, thanks. Feb bike show... why not. hibernation station shut down. Duane from stumptown makes the best coffee and provided me with one of the most surreal moments of my life. trip out and trip on life.

the beginning of the last 100 miles taking 5 hours

My dad used to tell me that "fast friends make fast enemies." Maybe he never met folks as genuine from the jump as you and Rachel. Great weekend with you both. You've got a place to prop your pooners up here anytime.

Nagahara's work gets my soul, nice motorbikes, I like Hondas and Vespas, rule #1 of Beard Club, looked less than warm.

My mom had two different Astro vans when I was a kid and I hated every minute of each one of them. Glad to see someone enjoys them.

Internet 1/2 steps can make real life scary like compact snow and ice.
