Deus Ex Machina

[metallyguitarded_imp]

I suppose I missed the hipster crowd when I arrived at Deus. There were plenty of people inside but none with the classic hipster look. Just regular people, chillin in a café like most cafe's I've been in. Wait a minute ... what if I'M a hipster and I don't realize it?! And all those "regular" people are hipsters too! Oh no ... what's my momma gonna think?

The place did strike me more as a fancy motorcycle-inspired café than a serious custom motorcycle shop. Still, I enjoyed it. The stuff inside was priced out of my reach but we don't have anything like that down in San Diego. It was fun to visit. I'll probably go back again.

TINK, I see that you posted about a So Cal meetup. I'll be over to that thread in a moment. Here are a few pics from my VFR meetup. Would be great to get at least a half dozen CB's together!

Here we have a 2nd generation VFR750 (1986) in the foreground, a 5th generation VFR800 (1998), followed by two Anniversary Edition 6th generation VFR800s (2007); mine being the last one.

We picked up a brand spanking new 8th generation VFR800 (2014) along the way. It's the all white bike which actually has a beautiful metallic shimmer to the paint. You need a camera (and eye) like TINK's to pick up.

By the time everyone got there, we had 10 VFRs from various generations represented. We filled up on burgers and fries and put faces to screen names. it was a good time.
