    Alice’s Restaurant
    Skyline Boulevard
    Woodside, California
    June 4,1989
    You tighten the chin strap,
    turn the key, hit the button and
    the engine snaps to attention
    like a West Point cadet. You
    ease the big bike out of the
    dark garage into the too bright
    Northern California sunshine.
    The Ninja® idles its way
    through the early morning
    traffic as you get reacquainted
    after the week’s layoff. The
    last sleepy faced driver grows
    small in your mirrors, then
    disappears as the road opens
    up and snakes out ahead.
    As the twists and bends
    come closer together, so do
    you and the machine. You can
    sense the engineering at work,
    but feel it only as smooth,
    balanced performance. Each
    twist of the throttle reels in the
    next comer, each squeeze of
    the brakes sets you up for the
    next quick shift.
    A sweeping left, a little jog
    to the right and you pull into
    the carnival that is an Alice’s
    Sunday morning. Time to eat
    and stretch and talk about how
    good it was and how great it’s
    gonna be. The bike ticks a
    little as it begins to cool off.
    You don’t tick, but you could
    stand to cool down a little
    yourself.
    Some days, life is truly good.
    Other days, it’s even better.
