Two Adventure Riders

Stopped for gas today & met two really great guys, Rudy & Don (hope I got them both right), both riding BMW GS 800 parallel twin cylinder dual purpose bikes.  The bikes can do highway & offroad pretty easily.   These  bikes were VERY dirty and the guys look like they know what they're up to.  They told us about crossing the desert, not really knowing if they had enough gas.  They go where most of us can't, see things we miss, and just roll. Look at their smiles - these guys are in it, they got that rhythm of the road thing going on.

I asked them where they're going, they smiled & answered almost in unison "We don't know". They decide day by day, hour by hour, which direction to take. What a fine way to explore our world.  Like most of the rest of us they have to be back at work some time, but today they were in The Zone. What a wonderful thing to witness.

The cool thing was, they were looking at our bikes saying they'd like to do that & we were grilling THEM about their bikes, equipment, riding styles, etc.  These guys made my day.  They're obviously close, brothers or friends, don't matter. I was just very impressed with their genuine & open manner. I liked them instantly. God speed, guys.
