Yesterday, coming home from work I saw the most interesting thing. It was after I got off the Ortega in Lake Elsinore. I came up to an intersection, waiting to make a left turn. There were 2 individuals in front of me. Directly in front of me is an SUV. In front of him, at the front of the line was an individual on an R1. Beautiful piece of machine. Brilliant blue, polished aluminum frame, immaculate........ it shined.
The problem was that I was waiting forever because the traffic signals sensor was not picking him up (the R1 guy), the light just stayed red for the left turn. So I decided to pull up next to him to tell him what was going on, and to ask him to pull up into the crosswalk with me so that the car behind us can pull up far enough to where it will be recognized by the sensor and the left turn signal will be triggered. Whew..... got all that?. Surprise surprise....... it worked..... duh,... and we were on our way.
What was interesting was the rider of this splendid R1. When I pulled up to him, I got a good look at him........... hmmmm...... interesting. He was wearing shorts, a t-shirt...... and something I have never seen before on a sportbike rider......... a shiny chrome plated half helmet................. hmmmmm.............. interesting.
:D
