Arnt they ace 
I went to drop a C.V off yesterday at an office thats about 10miles away from my house, its on quite a good road so when I come out I carried on for a while and latched on to a group of 5 bikers, bikers normally know good roads I thought so Il stick with them, after about an hour I lost them on a particulaly twisty road which I got stuck behind a tractor on, turned away from the tractor and found the best road I have ever seen in my life, seen a sign for the M6 and joined at jct40  350 miles covered by the time I got home

I go on random drives with my mates sometimes, which usually turn into races. And we end up quite far from home.
