Three of us had 8 days to spend on PCH last July so we headed South from Oregon on the coast and turned around after 4 days and did most of the same roads Northbound. We stayed in motels but no reservations. We just road 6 to 9 hours a day and stopped when we felt like it.

It's the ride, not always the destination. My bride takes a ton of pics from the back seat. We relive our rides all winter.

One of my legs is longer than the other. Without a destination I just go in circles.

Retired,, all the wife and need to do is get on, start her up, leave the house.. the rest is up for grabs.
Lastly, return home 2-4 later.

As has been mentioned by a few already, a little of both. On another note; that's a beautiful bike "FB". Love the blue...

I do both. Sometimes it may just be the way the bike is pointing others may be I just have to get to where I am going.

For the most part I like to know where I'm going. How I get there is not really a big deal. This year I have a plan to ride across Texas and into New Mexico. I will ride until I'm tired, find a room see the sights of where ever I am. Get up and do it again until I'm ready to come home.

I usually have a destination, once in a while it's just a direction which ends up being East to Indiana. Nice scenery there, they have trees and stuff.
