The grassroots custom moto show is big business now. The big events pull in hundreds of display bikes and thousands of punters, whether it?s Wheels & Waves in France, the Bike Shed in London, or the Handbuilt and One Moto shows in the US.
The stats from last weekend?s One Moto Show in Portland are impressive: over 200 bikes on display, ten thousand beers sold, five bands performing and around 80 vendors selling everything from hard parts to soft leather jackets.

The show is run by Thor Drake?s See See Motor Coffee Company, and for the 11th edition, the venue moved to The Veterans Memorial Coliseum, a 1960s masterpiece of mid century modern architecture.
Sponsored by Indian Motorcycle, the latest show had five times the space of last year?s. More than 50 artists put it to excellent use, and there was even a circuit for flat track racing.
But it?s the bikes that are the stars. As the organizers say, the One show is ?crafted to celebrate weird, rare, custom, classic and unconventional bikes in a way that everyone can enjoy, whether they ride or not.?
