Gooble Gobble, Gooble Gobble, One Of Us

[the Ferret]

I swear I'm not making this up. Fashion Island shopping center in Newport Beach is near my office. It's very upscale, so when I shamble through there, typically looking for some sort of "I don't know what I did wrong, but this (insert gift here) should make up for whatever it was" gift, I look, well, homeless.

The very prominent valet parking area is always dotted with Italy's finest, along with Astons, Bentleys and Phantoms. There is a dedicated motorcycle parking area in one of the parking garages, and I typically see two bikes, an Aprilia RSV4RR, and an Army green Enfield.

I just got home from a very grueling two-week work trip, which caused me to miss my wife's birthday, so as soon as I got home, rested up, and checked in at the office, I pointed the CB to Newport to pick out a gift. As I took my helmet off, the Aprilia showed up and parked next to me. I said "Nice bike, I've seen that here, haven't I?" He replied "Yes, I come here quite a bit. I like your Honda... looks like an old CB750. I really like those black things on the levers!"

Ahh a man with class .... and taste
