More GS adventures

Yesterday as I drove through Buena Vista, Colorado I couldn’t decide whether or not to stop for lunch or continue, but when I saw another red GS, I pulled a U-turn and parked next my bike’s twin. It just happened that my neighbor also had a Florida license plate. Inside the burger and burrito joint I met the owners of my bike’s twin, Prior and Mary. Prior rode the bike out and picked up his daughter in Denver. Now the two of them are taking a tour of Colorado. We had the usual gear and "what have you done to your bike?" conversation which seems to happen any time two bikers get interested in a bike. In the interim, Mary mentioned that she’d spent a year at the business college at UNF before going to a school closer to home. Prior switched from an BMW RT because he wanted a bike that was better for nonpaved roads. While I was in Santa Fe, Ira told me a statistic that I forgot but I think he said that there are as many unpaved roads as paved ones in the US. So a dual purpose bike can really open new horizons.
