From the house to Walmart by truck is about 7 miles, by motorcycle it's about 60. Maybe more depending on the weather. I can totally relate with your day.

I think I'm going to do that tomorrow in the truck. I'm this close to the quarter-million mile mark.

I cannot relate...I have not had time to get my bike fired up and cleaned to and taken out yet and am upset that I have not. It may be another week or so.
Glad you are having fun like that.

Yes I can relate. A Jeep CJ7 with no top or doors will meander like that too.

The map is not for seeing where you are going, but to see where you have been. I had a wonderful week like that on a motorcycle about 20 years ago.

Return trip looks about right but why the direct route there?

I use to take my daughter to church 3 miles from the house, never made it home before time to pick her. Or going the 60 to 100 miles out of the way to rider Palomar Man or Borrego grade on the way home from work.

Those are the rides I think about all Winter long.

I once got up and decided to take a ride and grab some lunch. I ended up in Little Rock Ar. I called my wife and let her know I'd be a little late when I hit Texas...

Yepp! I had some errands to run that should have taken 25 minutes. My SV650 has new Dunlop Q3 tires that need to be broken in so......One hour later I get a machine gun blast full of texts and missed calls from the wife wondering where the hell I was at. I took the long way home.

Yeah, I forget where I live sometimes too

I rode from Minneapolis to Fargo on a whim and a Suzuki GS650G one Saturday morning, stopped for a hamburger at lunch, and rode back. It was about 250 miles round trip.

When I worked the second shift and got off work at 10PM, sometimes it took me over three hours and about 150 miles to get home on the motorcycle.

Took just 20 minutes (13 miles) to ride to work.

So, yeah, I can relate to that photo.
