While sittin' outside a Starbucks one warm SoCal afternoon and sippin' my coffee, a woman on a Road King and her husband/boyfriend also on one rode up and proceeded to attempt to backup and park their bikes in the space next to the one I had parked my BA.
The women was all of 5'3' and MAYBE 115lb soakin' wet.
Well, as you can imagine, she had a "little problem" tryin' to back that 700-plus pound motorcycle all by herself into that space, and so her husband/boyfriend backed up and parked his bike first, and then jumped off and grabbed her bike and parked it for her.
Now when these two 40-somethings, all dressed up in all(and I DO mean ALL) their official Harley-Davidson ridin' gear walked past me, I just COULDN'T resist offering up a little suggestion to 'em that went somethin' like this:
"Ya know, just an idea here, BUT I'm thinkin' maybe gettin' a little smaller and more maneuverable motorcycle like that there Triumph o' mine MIGHT be a good idea for the young lady!"
Ya know, some folks just don't take kindly to unsolicited advice, and I had a feelin' these two fell into that category by the stink eye I received from both of 'em as they walked past me and into that Starbucks!!!
(...and yep, this IS a true story!)
