How can I have some fun on boring roads? If the answer is to find a twisty, then I'll just have to do some google maps hunting.
Go "hunting" for fun!

When I'm board on the roads I just split traffic, or on the freeway if traffic allows I open up the throttle till I reach the height of my comfort level.
