So, I'm a solid hipster with both a CB1100 and an air-cooled Bonneville.
Guess I should just leave the office right now and go buy some moustache wax on the way to an independent, non-Starbucks coffee house. If there are fewer than three people on laptops writing a screenplay inside, I'll keep on moving until I find one that has more.
Between the gentrified sections of Downtown Santa Ana, Old Town Orange, Old Town Tustin, I can ride from one hipster neighborhood to another on my way home from work on either bike and not spend more than a few blocks in a non-hipster neighborhood. And, on my way to the museum on Sunday, I'm excited to check out the grand opening of Bike Shed L.A., which is located in the new downtown Arts District, which is so hipster that they might not even let me in unless I wear my Doc Martins and a plaid shirt.
Yesterday, while sitting at a light on the CB300R, a guy on an Indian FTR pulled up next to me. I gave him the traditional helmet nod, and he swung his head away in disdain. I thought he was putting down my diminutive bike. Now I see that he was just unimpressed with its lack of hipsterness.
