Señor,

You have absolutely found the right web site if you are truly interested in adventure. I will answer your questions and as I am sure others who post here will.

1. Yes , most who post here do have a quest for adventure and beyond the quest have actually created a life based on their adventurous needs. You personification of the motives for this quest might be explained as a projection of yourself, or a serious quest to really understand the motives of others regarding their quest for adventure.

2. The "shitty job" is not a given as you portray, having met hundreds of over landers through my motorcycle parking business in Buenos Aires , Argentina, at my ranch in Flagstaff, Arizona and on the road I have met few who complained about having a "shitty job." On the other hand I have met many in other circumstances who do complain and constantly about their "shitty job."

Regarding bragging rights, yes many of those who post here, especially the RTWs (those motorcycling around the world) do IMHO have bragging rights. Not to impress, but to share. For example at my Airbnb here in flagstaff, I present the Overland magazine and when my guests ask about motorcycle overlanding, I answer their questions. Many, return, either via e-mail or with their new touring bike. This I personally feel is an obligation we, who have traveled the world by motorycycle have to those who might dare to do so.

Your characterization of "typical" ("Bragg a lot to your co workers on what you have done") might not be true for others, especially those who post here....but I certainly respect your need to see the world as full of insecure braggarts who need to impress others because of self doubt. But, most people I have met who have this opinion of others are simply projecting .

3. The worn out "Jones v Jones" approach to life, as far as I can determine has been left far behind by most of the over landers I have met, and while this might be true for you in your social environment, I doubt you will find many "Jones" posting here.

4. rosa del desierto and I own two G650 gs BMWs and park them in Spain for our European/Asian rides, we own two KLR650s here at the ranch in Arizona, and two NX400s Honda Falcons we keep at our motorcycle parking facility in Buenos Aires, (see our ad on the HUBB) I am sure rosa is also pleased to meet another over lander wanting to understand the motivations of those who post here.

FYI, We have motorcycled Colombia, crossed the Trampoline del Diablo (twice) in southern Colombia in addition to 55,000 K through 8 other South American countries, ridden from Spain to Turkey, and through Mexico and Central America and through many States of the United States and feel very qualified to answer any additional questions you might have.

So, please ask away, in spanish or english and I will do my best to equal the response I have just given you.

Eat, Drink and brag when appropriate.... xfiltrate
