Portland, Ore. – November 2023 – Tickets are now on sale for the highly-anticipated 15th-anniversary celebration of The One Motorcycle Show, North America's largest custom bike show, happening from Friday, April 19 to Sunday, April 21, 2024, at the historic Zidell Yards Barge Building in Portland, Oregon. Founded by Thor Drake and the See See Motor Coffee family, this annual gathering attracts young and old, wild and mild, moto enthusiasts, and non-motorcyclists alike for a weekend filled with excitement, inspiration and the best custom motorcycles on the planet.
The venue, Zidell Yards, with its historic family-owned industrial building, provides a rustic and open-air setting along Portland’s Southwest Waterfront. Once a shipyard in the 1930s until 2017, the 14-acre property smells of old grease and metal work, offering the perfect textured backdrop to showcase custom motorcycles and celebrate racing, community and biker culture, like we always have.
“What started as a fun side project has turned into a force of nature,” says Thor Drake. “I don't mean that in a bragging way - but as a humble and enthusiastic participant of something that has grown bigger and better than I ever imagined. I sort of liken it to the progression of a living being. What started out as a simple idea has transformed over the years. Some years were hard learning experiences, some years blossoming into progression. All years contributing to the creation of something that is meaningful to the greater community.”
YEAR 15: NORTH AMERICA’S BIGGEST BIKE SHOW
At the heart of The One Motorcycle Show is the unparalleled collection of 300+ all-style, all-era custom-built motorcycles. Submitted and inspired by builders worldwide, this inclusive showcase celebrates weird, rare, custom, classic, and unconventional bikes, offering enjoyment for riders and non-riders alike.
The 2024 weekend lineup includes a custom and classic car show, indoor motorcycle racing, 21 Helmets custom helmet art show, motorcycle-inspired art shows, live music, motorcycle, and electric bike riding demos, kids and family activities, limited-edition show merch, FMX, BMX, and skate stunt shows, 85+ year-old motorcycle drill teams, world-renowned wheelie stunters, celebrities, and much more.
Guests can take their time browsing this year’s best bikes, cars, helmets and featured art during 3-4 hour timed sessions, all day or all weekend. There is something for everyone. Back this year are the infamous coffee table books, as well as limited-time merch and special memorabilia. Past books have highlighted the bikes and builders from the show that year, but the 2024 book will showcase all 15 years of the One Show, its humble beginnings and the people, stories and bikes that have built the show into what it is today.
YEAR 14: OUR BIGGEST ONE YET
In 2023, the show achieved record participation with a 29% increase in attendance, drawing over 22,000 attendees, including 20% from out-of-state and representation from 35 states and 14 countries. The online community saw a 70% increase in engaging over motorcycle enthusiasts nationwide. Year 14 event featured an unprecedented number of bike submissions, solidifying its standing as a premier platform for motorcycle enthusiasts and builders.
15 YEARS OF THE ONE SHOW
