The whole intention if you look deeper is to bring together people who are interested in cafe racer bikes. Ducati is one of the birthrights of cafe racers. So don't turn away if you see one in Texas you might meet up with some people who like and ride what you do.

Years ago, I helped the guy who designed the bubble walls in Rainforest Cafe with some technical stuff.

I couldn't believe what he charged for a bubble wall!
When he was trying to get me to work for him I was too busy at the time...

Chris: "What would it be worth to you?"
Me: "I'm so busy I couldn't do it for $100 an hour"
Chris: "How about two hundred, meals, and mileage"
Me: "I'll be there in the morning..."  cheeky

It was a good two weeks.  Grin
I must have had a good time -I can't remember what I spent it all on...   Huh?

This was similar to the idea I posted sometime back about a cafe-racer, uh, cafe... thought maybe a pizza place might make more sense - CR decor, great pizzas, draft beer and soda, bike parking up front, juke box, several different big screens playing ONLY moto-related stuff.  Well, as long as SOMEBODY does it, I guess it's good.

Maybe someone could work something out with AMS and share the area around the new shop.  Atmosphere would be right, and how about being near the planned Trinity Lake with blue water, sailboats, and beautiful people jogging safely along the shore.
