    Does anyone else find this?

    So, took me ages to get any license of any type (okok, had car learners for years, but never did anything with it ), when I got my bike license, I noticed this, and noticed it again now I've got bike back...

    Before (and without) bike:
    Trip to get w/ever from shop around corner: about 15min.

    After (and with, duh) bike:
    Trip to get w/ever from shop around corner: anywhere from 30min-2hrs usually.

    Guess I just get easily distracted, or lost, or something

    Anyone else do this?

    Not only that......
    I make myself readily available to run all sorts of little errants.....
    Opinions are like arseholes: Everybody has got one, but that doesn't mean you got to air it in public all the time....

    Mum: Ok, bring back some batterys for the torch then.

    Me: Back in 2-3 hours.

    Mum: DON'T SPEED.

    Mum: **txt back** "ok take it easy, dinner is at 7pm, i will cover it for you so you can reheat it "

    Me: **takes gloves off just before setting off** txt back: "yes mum, be back in time for dinner"

    Me: **pulls into driveway at 6:50PM** Hi mum...

    Mum: 0.o, how did you get back from taupo in 2 hours 20!.

    Me: ummmmmmmmmmmmm about that

    i have found that i dont mind its over a 100k trip to work and back...... even on the days its pissing down with rain
    I've learnt to hide the pain inside, open the throttle and ride away.

    Yeah im the same - I have had the least ever amount of sickies since having a bike, makes the going to work well worthwhile as i get to ride there and back.

    Often get that, I might just go for a quick ride, back soon. She rolls eyes knowingly and says ok.
    Its not the destination that is important its the journey.

    Me: I'm going out for a ride.
    Her: Where are you going?
    Me: Nothing major - just round the block.
