I had a rather curious moment yesterday evening. Mrs. Gone was out for the night with a friend, so, on my own for dinner, I decided to check out a new taco place in the Old Town Orange area I mentioned in another post.
Parking was tight along the streets for a Sunday evening, but maybe with Fathers Day, lots of families were out for nice dinners. I wedged my CB between two cars that were parallel parked across the street from the restaurant, and after getting my dinner, I sat at a counter facing out, so I had a view of my bike as I ate. The two cars on either side of me left as I was eating, leaving my bike parked by itself with plenty of room on both sides. An Orange PD officer then pulled up next to my bike and got out. I was about to get up and run across the street to see if he was disagreeable with my parking job for some reason.
He stared at my bike for a bit, then pulled out his phone, took a few photos of it, got back in his car and drove off. I'm assuming that he headed back to the station to show his coworkers the cool bike he saw during his patrol.
... at least I hope that's what he did.
