You know you are a motorcycle-addicted fool when...

You're bored and you haven't hit the road for, what feels, WAY too long. So you hop on and start riding, nowhere at first.
You're on a road that you're not sure why you're on it - didn't I want to try a different way?. Then a traffic jam. So, a plan comes to mind. Off the main road I go to wander the cornfields.
So, after almost over 100 miles and 4 hours travel, including a side trip to visit a customer's shop that you realize that you're "close" to, you arrive at your point of your Grand Plan.
Lunch.
The only "$69 total cost" (tolls, fuel, food, never mind wear and tear) $19 (including tip), 4-hour trip away, lunch .
Afterwards you hop back on the saddle and ride, through backed-up traffic and 100 miles, back home.
Because you finished your lunch, after all.

I need a REAL ride and not these wimpy runs just to keep myself busy.
The 100-mile lunch took me into 3 states - I stated in NYC, lunch in Philadelphia, PA. My worst? Start in Beacon, NY, lunch in Washington, D.C. - 300 miles and 5 states away. I constantly do things like that - lunch in New Haven, CT, 80 miles; lunch in Bedford Hills, NY, via Yorktown, 75 miles, etc.
I hate short bike trips. I want to punch the living crap out of people who say "I'm a biker!" and then only ride 8 miles to the biker bar twice a month to hang out with friends.
Go visit the other states. They lead sad, sad boring lives, so sad. Even baby Jesus cries for how damn lame they are, and he's dead anyway.
They need love and tenderness - they need the living fucking shit kicked out of their pathetic little asses and some havoc and chaos in their lives. Can't you bring some pissed-on donuts to them? Think of the children!
I've either been to most of them already and never found them interesting to begin with, or simply have no interest in going:P. The only places I care to go are way East like your region, or way West. And possibly far North as I've never been to the far Northern states.
Mmm nah, things are screwy enough, *Looks over at the Duncan, Oklahoma shooting incident*. I've long been ready to gtfo, my only problem is hauling Torn along:P. He uses up his leave for silly things here. If I'm ever to get him out of the state for anything worth while, gonna have to save up that leave. And get some plane tickets.
As for the requirements of travel...I've offered to pay for the tickets and deal with the lodging situation, you know.
I turned around and stop at a vacant rest stop and watched the sky. Unfortunately, since being held up last year at gun point, being in a dark place at night, alone, made me real nervous. So after a few minutes, drove back. I got home at about 3:30 am. Now.. waiting for the next shower to do it again.
I can imagine how free it must have felt on your bike.... but you know you will NEVER get me on it.

It sounded really nice. I don't think I've ever gotten to see a good meteor shower, one with lots of activity. I hear about it, never really see it.
Don't you want to go riding on a screaming metal 2-wheel death cart?? You can only go BOOM! once. Well, usually anyway
You need to go back, during a night, and try it again. With someone. Someone you can have nasty, dirty sex with in the middle of nowhere. What's the use being in the middle of nowhere if you can't take nasty, nasty advantage of him...err, it??
