Out on the Burgman 200 today. I may not have mentioned this before, but... damn, that little scoot is fun to ride! OK, I may have mentioned it a time or 20. The CTX has been getting more attention, when I can find the time to give either of them some attention.
It was a cool morning (in the 70s qualifies as cool here), clear blue sky, and not much traffic. The riding was good, the scoot entertaining. I stopped a couple times to get a photo of the cute, but manly Burgman...
That one above from a parking area. I did find a spot to get completely off the road to get an angle with some road in it there...
From the phone on the handlebar...
I mentioned "the road" and being well off it because of what I saw on the way down the mountain: it is a relatively narrow, twisty, 2-lane road. Well down the mountain, on the other side of the road, an older woman stopped her car - in the driving lane (no place to pull off where she stopped) - got out of the car, leaving the driver's door wide open, then meandered across the road (I had to slow down because she didn't look before stepping out), and got her phone out to take a photo of the view. Did I mention she left her car IN THE LANE? With the door wide open?
There are a couple places with pull-outs when you can get safely off the road, and the view is even better; one less than a half mile from where she stopped. Her behavior was stupid and inconsiderate. I don't know why anyone would think stopping and getting out of the car while it is IN the driving lane is acceptable behavior? No matter how pretty the scenery.
I saw more City/Park trucks on the mountain roads today than other cars. Of course, there was no City Park Ranger there to write that woman a ticket.
