I agree with what you've said in regards to taking pictures and general comfort. It is definitely a hassle to stop and start. Especially in...

It's been a couple of years since I rode with the Chef, but at that time he was just setting up Zocalo's a restaurant here in San Diego. Definitely a good guy.
