Zen/Karma happened,
This guy stopped here, middle of nowhere, to start a summers' ride
His story about completing something @ 'Poly, and having the rest of the summer off to ride, Tenere loaded & ready.
I told him he was doing better than Jim Bronson, and his Mex blanket for gear.
That comment lost to ages. This was his "Bixby Bridge" the start of his ride with no set plans, from Carrizo Plains in full bloom, dang close to the county line.
Cue the overhead heli shot of a lone bike, rolling thru the flowers with "Long lonesome Highway" playing to fade, , ,
His eyes lit up when I mentioned my two week ride to Sturgis, and me now rolling RV, poaching twisties full time. I think he has a good handle on this to make it epic, my last words, "Have Fun".
The return thru Shell Creek, , ,
The lack of shade made me stop here again, the breeze is in my face, guess what it smells of ??
