Talking Anyone else swerve just for fun?

I ride the country roads of South. IN a lot just to cruse the hills and curves for fun. Sometimes on straight sections of road, with no traffic, I find myself swerving back and forth and notice that the grin on my face is growing even wider just because it's so much fun! Not talkin high speed maneuvers here, usually crusin less than 60 MPH. Just wondering if anyone else enjoys doing this?

Sure, using the broken center line as a coarse.

I also have taken back roads and if there isn't any traffic, I have used the staggered white lines in the middle of the road and try to weave in and out of them without touching any of the painted areas. Something to do.

On a nice straight road I like to ride the white line for miles . It makes me fell like I'm walking / riding a tight rope and I can't fall off .

Oh yeah, nothing like goofing off when it's safe.

I was doing that today. The side wind was 25mph and I couldn't hold a straight line for nothing.
