Hanging out at Alice's Restaurant - a photo on Flickriver

            Alice's Restaurant, in the redwood forested hills above Silicon Valley, is a great place for people watching.  The parking lot was jammed on a sunny summer afternoon with motorcyles, bicycles, SUV's, sports cars and "colorful characters" like this group taking a smoke break. I wish I had pulled back a little to get the entire bike in the frame, but this was "stealth photography"...

Check out the location on the map - you'll see why it's such a destination for bikers; the winding road thru the forested hills is scenic and fun to drive. This is where Tesla engineers tested performance of their sports cars.

I knew somewhere in all that shiny chrome I would find a self portrait - you need to go LARGE to find me though !  

I think I should get some tattoos, a bandana a $30,000 Harley, give up the business suits and heels, quit my corporate job and hit the road - do you think I can stuff the camera bag into the trunk on that bike?
