On A slow day when you wondering O.K. what am I gonna have to do, make something up? Reality comes a long slaps ya in the face.
I kid you not this is true. You can follow the link for a reality check if you like and no this ain't no damn advertisement for the place. But you just watch, like the Harley Mall's (for lack of a better term) cropping up where you can furnish your house with all things Harley this may have a shot despite the fact that I hope they go bankrupt tomorrow (if not sooner). Motopia caters to those who enjoy all things motorcycle. The facility features a motorcycle detailing shop; a full European coffee house and restaurant (with a wide selection of beer and wine); a lounge area with a fireplace, music, and plasma screens showing major motorcycle and other sporting events; and even a business center.
Yes, yes, yes, did you read that? Even a business center. How blessed can a "Biker" be to have available to him or her a "business center" where one might while away the hours perusing their portfolio whilst sipping on a double, windup, creamed, signed, sealed, delivered latte or a fine vintage glass of "ripple?" Why just the thought makes me flush with anticipation. “
Motopia aspires to become one of the most successful 'third place' concepts in Dallas/Ft. Worth, and as this concept becomes lucrative, across the United States,” said Rene
Larrave, president and founder of
Motopia. “We have created an atmosphere that blends the comforts of home with the best of the workplace environment. This will be a place where a person can be at ease and inspired at the same time.”
Myself, I'm not easily inspired whilst at ease on the couch sipping on some wine and therre is no such thing as a "best" of a "work" place environment. However, I used to get inspired as hell with a bottle of tequila at a mud wrestling contest. (The third place is a term used in the concept of community building to refer to social surroundings separate from the two usual social environments of home and the workplace.)
“
Motopia is truly an exciting concept. This is a place where passion for motorcycles and love for coffee, come together,” said
Ramir Camu, co-founder of
Motopia, and president and CEO of
TheEyeWorks. “
Motopia is soon to become the place to be and be seen.”
Oh my God am I passionately excited? Are you passionately excited? Hey I got an idea! Lets all sit around with a Latte and get passionately excited.Tish Buchanan, manager of
Motopia noted that this new coffeehouse concept has great potential. “Very rarely one gets the opportunity to take the leadership role in the launch of such a unique concept. We strongly believe that we are about to launch something that will have a great response everywhere we go.”
"Yo Tish, wanna go for a ride on my MotorSICKle? Here Tish, come on Tish, Lets go for a ride Tish (Good God my luck, from the sounds of this plasce Tish could be a dude). In February,
Motopia announced the opening of this flagship location on the southwest corner (address deleted intentionally). If any

Johnny Humphreys enjoys golfing and motorcycling, so it’s not surprising that the retired but still enterprising former top executive of Liberty Lake-based Itron Inc. would come up with an invention that seeks to merge the two pastimes.
