I was working from home yesterday. If it was a green 2013 DS, it might be a friend of mine who's been borrowing my DS until his gas adventure bike arrives for him, since he just moved here. I set him up with a J1772 cheater cable and an extension cord for slow charging, which seems to be enough for him to get between work and home and occasional cross-bay trips.

I'd better check up on that bike, come to think of it... as soon as it's back, it's due for an upgrade.

It was a green one. Maybe it was him. The bike was LOADED DOWN...side cases, top case and tank panniers!

I had the side and top cases, but not tank panniers. :) I wonder whether I lent him my tank bag, but he probably had some he threw on. I'll ask.

He says he didn't, and it's extremely likely that my friend is who you saw, since he remembers someone checking his ride out southbound near the lake.

Maybe I was wrong about the tank panniers/bag, but that must have been your friend...I saw him as we were passing by the reservoir.
