rdprdp01, you're a man after my own heart. I wipe my CB1100 down after a long ride as well, and being a '13, do a quick polish on the headers too, to keep them in top shape.
Yes, Lord Popgun, the Rock Store is the L.A. area bike hangout. Quite a scene on weekends. I haven't been up there, or in the Malibu area in general since the huge fires in January. Plus, my ride to get there would be by slabbing it on the freeways, so the getting there is a lot less picturesque than rdprdp01's ride to Alice's. Once the weather cools off, I'll take a day and get up there.
My last few visits to the Rock Store have been on early weekdays when they're closed. Not quite the same scene as a Saturday when it's teeming with bikes and sports cars!
