Jeff Johnson said "I’m drawn to open country. It’s where everything becomes clear. It’s where the world makes the most sense. When I put myself out there, I always return with something new. The best journeys are those that answer questions that in the beginning, you never thought to ask". (2010 - 180 Degrees South)
Whether it’s imagining yourself as a cowboy, or some kind of adventurer, riding a motorcycle takes us to a new space and time. It’s hard to explain, isn't it. As for me, out on the lonely dirt roads up in the mountains, often standing on the pegs and riding slowly, yep, I’m a cowboy.
Just like Jeff Johnson said in that movie, I too am drawn to open country. Out there, the world does seem to make the most sense.
