Yesterday I was just starting my ride...going down the expressway my ball cap flew off the e brake handle and into the medium....I almost caught it... Anyway my girl friend bought the hat so I thought I would go back to find it....I parked along the berm with flashers on...and proceeded to walk the medium on the side I lost it on.....after walking about two miles without finding it I was headed back toward the bike. A car pulls up with a girl driving and a guy beside her. They asked if I needed help....I tried to flag them on telling them I was ok and they should get out of there before they got killed because their rear end was hallway into the passing lane and the speed limit is 65. Well when I looked back they were still sitting there and in my head I'm running the scenario that they might be going through....
My guess is they came from the other direction and passed me walking and saw my bike there with the flashers on and turned around to catch up to me...the only thing I can think is they may have wanted me to get in the car so they could...use your imagination here...it scared the crap out of me and I started to run walk toward my bike. I looked back again and they were still sitting there halfway on the highway ...my guess is they couldn't make up their mine on what to do....
The lesson here is.... I was pretty stupid to waste my time looking for a $5 hat. I think I was lucky because I don't think they were from AAA... But this is a lesson on how fast an innocent situation could have turned on a dime.
So today I was looking for ways to mount a holster in the bike.
