RE: Portland Cars and Coffee Event
great looking bikes. for my money, you could toss in a couple of car pics, too and still not violate the forum's general principles

Great shots Guth. A double pleasure: a ride and some decent bikes to look at.

RE: Portland Cars and Coffee Event
Considering that this is a car event, it was a pretty impressive gathering of motorcycles. MTC, I'm afraid I might bet a get a bit too carried away with the car photos when encouraged so I'll just leave those out. At some point I might get around to posting up a gallery of images on my own website that I could share a link to if you're really interested.
It's funny, since acquiring the S2000, I've been researching the car like crazy (much like I did with the CB1100 back in 2012 when I was "beyond excited" about the bike). I've dug up all kinds of interesting articles and videos online. Perhaps the most notable thing that sticks out for me is how the chief engineer, Shigeru Uehara remains so very proud of, and connected to this car (he was also the man behind the original Acura NSX). So much so that he refers to the car as "his son" and has attended multiple S2000 owners gatherings around the globe — even after production of the car had ended. It got me daydreaming about the CB1100 and how awesome it would be if Mitsuyoshi Kohama could be prodded to attend a CB1100 rally. Hey, it was Honda themselves that decided to market "The Power of Dreams", so why not, lol.

RE: Portland Cars and Coffee Event
It's not at all unusual for bike guys to also love classic cars and bikes.
I'm a "vintage guy" both in age and tastes so I loved the pictures you posted

RE: Portland Cars and Coffee Event
popgun, Rothmans was a British Tobacco manufacturer that sponsored Honda's MotoGP effort late 80's and early 90's with riders Mick Doohan and Wayne Gardner.
Like Lucky Strike who sponsored Suzuki (Kevin Schwanz) they had very a distinct livery. You just never see either of them anymore.

RE: Portland Cars and Coffee Event
I had a picture of a fine example of a Rothman's Honda which I posted on a ride report a couple of years ago. Thanks to our 'buddies' at BotoPhucket, it is no longer visible.
But, out of the goodness of my otherwise mean little heart, here it is again ...
