Photos of New Cafe Bike Shop Opening in Michigan

Coast to Coast
Just got back from the opening of the new Cafe Racer shop in Ypsilanti. Good showing with lots of cool bikes, food, music, and even good weather. Met Dr. J there, saw at least one other DTT sticker, and met a bunch of locals I didn't know before.

Also, took lots of photos. Here's a link to my bucket rather than posting all of them inline:

I'm not a great photographer and you'll notice a disproportionate number of pics of my daily rider, not too shiny or clean :-\ But it isn't often that I think to take photos of my bike outside of my driveway. Also a picture of my pocket just in case you wonder what it looks like.

Some highlights:

About half the bikes at the party, my daily rider on the end, local law enforcement checking the scene

NIce pics. It was cool. DrJ is the Fuckin man! 8 hours on his bike to get there! He should geta DTT Endurance sticker! NIce to talk to a few members from the site. For some reason though I dont think I talked with you DCWP? You have pics of my bike, so we were there at the same time, but I dont recall talking to you? We'll have to meet up there again.

That was an awesome event. Yeah the ride from Toronto to Windsor was brutal, long, hot and boring. But it was really interesting after crossing the bridge to Detroit. Man that city is hardcore ghetto but in a really cool way. DTT road trip to Detroit! I checked into the local No Tell Motel which wasn't that bad and headed to the shop and joined the party. Great to meet DTT members there, Jim, Brad, Lloyd and Dan along with a bunch of fantastic new people. John and Leah were great hosts and put on a stellar show featuring a heavy metal puppet show and a flame throwing bicycle. There's already talk about another meet in the fall.
