“I don't ride, myself,” she says, “though many of my regulars are motorcycle instructors and are encouraging me to give it a try. To be honest, I'm a little intimidated by motorcycles.”

In the future, Caluori hopes to take Café Veloce on the road, bringing her unique blend of beautiful bikes and tasty bites to local motorcycle events. Avanti!

The Skinny
Where: Café Veloce, 12514 120th Ave. NE in Kirkland, Wash. Take exit 20B from Interstate 405 and follow the Totem Lake Boulevard signs. (425) 814-2972.
When: From 11 a.m. Monday to Friday and 4 p.m. weekends. Café Veloce will open for lunch on the weekend for parties of 40 or more.
Why: Great food and like-minded people in a motorcycle ambiance.
Scenic routes: There's great riding in the Snohomish, Skykomish and Snoqualmie valleys in the Cascade foothills to the east of Kirkland. If you're on I-90 coming west, take the Preston exit and ride Route 202 through Fall City to Redmond.Best kept secrets: Woods Creek Road and Burn Road from Monroe to Arlington via Granite Falls: a real rollercoaster.
Avoid: I-5 through Seattle, and either of the bridges over Lake Washington (Route 520 and I-90) during rush hours. On the plus side, Seattle's freeways have 24/7 HOV lanes. But don't lane split: it's illegal in Washington.

North by Northwest:
From Seattle – 15 miles northeast on I-405.
From Bellingham – 83 miles south on I-5/I-405.
