Christian, ya should have been there!
What we saw was almost NO traffic, NO maxi scooters of any sort, a couple of Harleys that strictly cruised in town, a pack of four Goldwings, one Can-Am , and the REST were Adventure Tourers, mostly BMWs.
Especially on Highway 4; you could park the bike in the ROAD and walk away. Every 15 minutes or so a bike or two might cruise on by...that was it.
Big surprise? Going on the 6,000 foot downhill grade from Tioga Pass down to Mono Lake, from almost 10,000 feet, where I lost the brakes on my motorhome 10 years ago. Didn't realize that you could HAUL ASS down it at a steady 75-80 mph. Some guy in a BMW (car) tried to stay ahead of us. We finally decided to give him a break and blew by him on a sweeper at 80+ mph.
BIG fun.
