Portland

You guys suck. www.pdxfixed.com knows how to welcome people.

I'm being loaned a bike, given a place to crash, there's an alleycat on, and they're going to get me drunk.

I'm not even there yet but the guys absolutely freakin' rock.

Oh, and if I ever get through to Chris King I'm going to swing by and see if they'll give us stuff for the reviews. Was thinking of Vanilla too, but I very much doubt Sacha will give us a bike to try out ;)

i'm in portland right now

do they still have live punk rock karaoke there? best. thing. ever.

i'm in portland right now

Fab, come out Saturday... check pdxfixed.

If they do I hope to find it. Sounds awesome.

i would but i'm driving down to CA on saturday morning, sucks.
i've been away for a while now and portland makes me miss riding my bike a ton

Ah, shit cakes.

Oh well... have fun in CA, and pray there's no more earthquakes and that today's was it.

You guys suck.

Noted.

Haha, that was aimed at you... glad you picked up on it ;)

They're an ace bunch of people in Portland. A few months ago i mentioned to the folks of PDXfixed that i was visiting my folks in Seattle, and a few of the guys from the forum arranged to get the Amtrak up into Washington to meet me, and to get some Seattle rides in.
You're spot on Velocio..... what a welcome!

pdxfixed = 30 year old men trawling the internet for 13 year old boys.

oh, wait a minute...

Ah. I love Portland. Awesome city. Make sure you hit the food stalls downtown for lunch one day. and watch out for the tram lines.

Over there we drive on the RIGHT, ON THE RIGHT!!!

if you're ever looking to stay in the east end dave give me a shout, i've got beer in the fridge too enough to get you drunk !

i have hosted 4 american friends and provided loaner bikes.... don't tar me with londonfgss's brush !

I thought this thread was going to be about Portland stone.

But. But. We love you. we've never had reason to lend you a bike or give you crash space.
And there's loads of alleycats in London that you choose to miss. And we have most definitely got you drunk.

I demand a fair retrial. Get the portland forum God to come here and we'll show you how it's done. That bitch will live like a king for his whole time here.

Infact I'm certain that Seattle are about to head home in a few days singing the praises of London.

We do not suck.

And you're a cunt for implying that we do.

lets all treat dave like a king for a week when he gets back

he'll never take us for granted again !

Is portlandfixed.com #2 worldwide bike forum or are we? Huh? Huh?

dude! go to voodoo donut! fucking awesome place. and its right around the corner from a strip joint called dante's.

oregon has the highest concentration of strip joints in america land.

^hahahahaha you're funny

Bit of a resurrection - but thinking of doing a weeks touring around Portland area- anyone got any suggestions?

take rain gear.

Nice place, if you like bridges.

Excellent- just invested in some good road gear

Know any good routes?

It's been about 6 years since I was last there.

I was always working-driving, when there, so not had chance to explore...

The forum at the top of this post, will be a better help than me in that regard.

It's not that flat there either.

Thanksduden
