Fixing up Mom-in-Law's house in Fallbrook yesterday, came out of the local hardware store, and saw one at the curb in front of a small diner.
Ran across the street to gawk at it, and noticed the "distributor" plate. Being that Fallbrook is surrounded by twisty roads, and is a magnet for weekend riders, I put two-and-two together and figured that the rider must be a moto journalist.
When he came out, he already had his helmet on, so I couldn't tell if he was anyone recognizable, but he confirmed that he was riding it for an upcoming article. I asked if it was going to give BMW a run for it's GS money.
He paused a bit, and said "We'll see."
