I live about 40 minutes out of town, but with a car it can take up to 1.5 hours to drive to work during rush hours. Luckily with my MC I can lawfully drive in the extra lane set aside for public transportation and I can bypass all the traffic. Additionally they can drive between the lines of cars when there is a jam, it can get a bit dodgy at times as it seems like cars are rather set on killing you. Blinkers are there to be used people, and so are your mirrors!
This weekend I went out with a group of my friends that also own motorcycles on a quick road trip to a small town nearby called Holmsbu. We grabbed a cup of coffee and a yummy shrimp sandwich and had a good time away from the wives and kids.
Unfortunately we got hit rather hard with some rain on the way home, but a cup of hot coffee sorted that out quickly enough. Thanks for the cake Gaute!

I do the same, go out with my mate at the weekends to get away from them, road or dirt biking depending on how we feel. We usually do a coffee shop if we are riding on the road
