ABATE Motorbicycle Toy Run Dec 03, 2006

Show notes

PORTLAND, Ore. - This site usually concerns itself with chains cranked by humans not engines.
But when I heard the clatter of motorbikes roar though the land
I sprang from the house with my camera in hand.
I saw outlaws and lawyers on choppers and trikes
and watched as they filled two city buses with toys for the tykes.
Then, what to my wondering eyes should appear,
But a chopped up hog, with Mrs. Claus on the rear.
With a white bearded driver, so lively and quick,
I knew in a moment it must be St. Nick.
And to know that it was done to help the children at Shriners
Made the noisy spectacle all the more finer.
Yes, thousands of Harleys was a sight that was great
And we can all tip our hat to the folks from A.B.A.T.E.

Bike Dancing and Cyclocross Mash Up Nov 22, 2006

Show notes

PORTLAND, Ore. – When I started doing this bike vlog this summer I was afraid I’d run out of things to cover during the rainy season. Well, I was wrong. This weekend the Sprockettes hosted several bike events starting with a Dance Party Friday night that had bike dance teams (The Sprockettes, The B:C:Clettes, The Brakes) and live music including one of my favorite groups, Show Me the Pink. I missed Saturday’s events because I was working in Miz Kitty’s Parlour. But Reverend Phil has some videotapes from Saturday's events.
Sunday the USGP of Cyclocross came through town with some of the top riders in the world. The Last Regiment of Syncopated Drummers, rowdy fans, and hottubbers greeted them. Later that night the Cross Crusade held their awards party which was also very entertaining and included the LRS Drummers, along with fire dancers, and acrobats from the A-Wol Dance Collective.
I took me a day just to recover from this rainy weekend version of Burning Man done Pacific Northwest style. “Don’t tell me this town ain’t got no heart. You just got to poke around.”
This is a quick montage some of the weekends bike events. I plan on doing more with the USGP race footage and the Sprocettes weekend separately.
