Oh Inu! You noticed Missy's bike but missed mine :|
Asta isn't kind to you it seems
No he just recognized Minerva's bike and not Asta's. There's plenty of vehicles about, but as a professional cabbie who operates a car service Michael doesn't tend to bother himself with people's modes of transportation. Even if Asta is a common sight I thought that bike was new?
Additionally I'm pretty sure you aren't there yet timeline-wise or are arriving shortly. Cab up and flew there, you drove. Minnie was already there though and he wouldn't recognize Flynn and Sidney's ride.

However, you only began your trip to the priest when most people were already en-route to Penthouse. Then you had to reach Baphomet's bar for me and then drop me off.
Asta had plenty of time to reach the Penthouse, in my opinion.
EDIT: It's also possible I'm underestimating traffic in a big city (small town kid )

You're forgetting that Cab can simply go invisible and float over normal traffic if it needs to (another reason he makes most of his money on paid jobs rather than running the meter). That is what happened by the way. It's what I meant when I said "Cab let me be in the kind of hurry we needed ...".
City traffic is atrocious though, even on a motorcycle. Considering New Brenton is located on the eastern continental United States I, as a local New Yorker, can attest to that fully.

And here I thought those 1100 cc will give me a chance at redemption. But since you posted after me, I thought Y and Mike will be after me. My bad.

Nah it's my fault. I've assumed New Brenton is like other coastal American cities (due to it being one) but I shouldn't have assumed everyone knew what they are like. City traffic here is standstill at the 7-8:30 p.m. time slot I've been guessing we're in, even for motorcycles. I don't base time on post order though. My posts will overlap others.

Oh okay. Well here in Delhi, the traffic never stops. The bikers have no regard for the rules

And here I am, accustomed to reaching any part of this town (city by local standards) in 30 minutes walk...

It's pretty similar here in Daegu

Yeah well that is the characteristic of Asia xP
even F1 drivers get a bit overwhelmed by the chaotic symphony that passes as traffic in these countries

Yeah here the bikers follow the rules in the city when they're in it. If you don't, people will open a fucking door on you. I've seen it happen. It ain't pretty and it's a quick way to get the cops involved and completely close down a city block or four if it's an intersection. City drivers tend to be awful really, as all their driving consists of letting up on the breaks occasionally and forcing their way into stacked lanes without a signal. Because of the inherent danger of idiot drivers around here people tend to either walk, use the subway, or drive very cautiously (no matter what the vehicle is).

Again? I don't think Michael and Minerva have ever actually met and been properly introduced before. Minnie just happens to be rather well-known locally and the sight of her bike has become a sort of red flag for anyone looking to steer clear of danger.
