Rented a bike in Orange county this week

Had to go to OC, CA for work this week and ended up having a good bit of downtime so, on Tuesday afternoon, I traded my rental car for a Triumph T120 Bonnie for the rest of the week.It was the best bad decision I think I've ever made.Rode up the PCH to Santa Barbara (3 hours each way) to have dinner with a friend Thursday night and spent almost every waking moment that I wasn't working exploring the area.Not my first time in CA but it was my first time being able to ride there. 1. Legal splitting was awesome. Seeing people actively move over a bit to let me through was incredible.2. The 405 is terrible. Not the traffic; I'm from a high traffic area and splitting made it a lot more tolerable. I mean the road itself. The grooved pavement, the uneven lanes, the bumps and holes; fucking terrible.3. The PCH is the most beautiful ride. Especially at sunset. Just epic in every way.4. It is not cheap to rent a bike. $120+ per day for the Bonnie and it was one of the cheaper options. But it was definitely one of the better ways I've chosen to waste my money.11/10 will definitely do that shit again!Edit: the only 2 pictures I took.OC Motorcycle is where I rented from. Super helpful guys and a good selection of bikes. They wouldn't rent me the Brutale, tho. Still a little disappointed about that. via /r/motorcycles https://www.reddit.com/r/motorcycles/comments/b7vwu5/rented_a_bike_in_orange_county_this_week/?utm_source=ifttt
