I had one last summer...I pulled over on the side of an on-ramp to hiway, completely out of harm's way, right next to the guard rail...about as far from the solid white line on my left as I could...must have been 6-8 feet from the right edge of the on-ramp. Guy pulls up to me in his car, his partner rolls down the window and he says "Man, you just picked the absolutely worst spot anyone ever chose to pull over on a motorcycle...and I ride, like, lots, man so I know what I'm talking about".
He gave me an exasperated look when I said "ok, thanks for that info" as I went back to checking my phone for an upcoming turn-off I didn't want to miss.
It seemed lost on him that there were two cars behind him waiting for him to finish giving me his opinion so that they could continue.
I thought he stopped because he was going to compliment me on the CB1100 or to check and see if I needed help.
