NOW THAT'S ART!
UM COVER ART EXHIBIT AT

CAFFE ROMA in SF's North Beach
Extended Showing - Limited Time


Be sure to check out the current moto exhibit of past favorite UM covers, poster size, at Caffe Roma, a popular cafe and gathering place in the North Beach district of San Francisco. The show hangs Feb 1 through Mar 31, and the UM Ducati race bike and Yamaha R1 race bike are displayed there as well before they ship to Daytona for the annual televised Daytona 200 and Bike Week Races, where SF's very own racer-extrordinaire, Lance Williams, hopes to take the checkered flag. We think the posters really look great - you'll see artwork by Rich Lee, Ernesto Evangelista, Keith Hutter, Liz Caruana, Torrey Nommesen, Paolo Asuncion (not to mention the women on the covers!) Stop on by and check it out! Caffe Roma, 526 Columbus Avenue, near Union St. is open 7 days a week 'til 8 pm. 415-296-7942
