from the shelf next to the bar, take a seat next to the beaver, and realize this is the beginning of a beautiful relationship between 308 and me... I had only visited 308 a handful of times before I realized this relationship was quickly getting serious—pounding drinks and “making it rain� like I’m R. Kelly at a strip club. However, I am not R. Kelly, and by no means do I have enough money to ever “make it rain� properly. So, when I had the chance to sit down with the powerhouse couple, I was overly delighted. I was finally going to get the chance to pick their brains a little. As sweet and charming as Ben and Alexis are, getting in touch with them is a pain in the ass. I know they are super busy; they have projects in the works; they go out of town for business, etc. So, it’s not their fault, but damnit, I was trying to find an excuse to go back to 308. After a month of playing phone-tag, we finally decided to meet up on a Monday afternoon. My first thought was, “Shit, does
this mean no drinking since it’s early?â€? My second thought was a little more rational: “Oh, good. I can finally write this story.â€? Priorities. Ben and I sit down and make small talk, and I automatically take a liking to him, as he looks like one of the Outsiders—dark features, dark cuffed jeans over leather boots, and a barber-style haircut. He opens his mouth and says, “F*ck it, let’s do this.â€? The whole Greaser thing suits him well. I notice a beautiful candy-red, vintage bike in the front window, which Ben tells me is a 1965 Yamaha Riverside. He says he’ll probably end up riding it home later. He tells me about his and Alexis' obsession with collecting vintage motorcycles. Three drinks on their menu are inspired by cafe racers—the ‘59 Club, the Ton Up, and the Ace. It all makes sense. Alexis walks in rocking bed head, wearing a white cut-off shirt, torn jeans, and high tops. She’s not too far from the Outsider look either. She even has a cafĂŠ racer of her own. Ben and Alexis are like two peas in a motor pod: confident, edgy, funny.
