Another run to the Evil Empire to get fixins. Occasionally I like to accelerate on takeoff. I will run it up to 95-100 while weaving back and forth in my lane. Not when others are near. I have always called it my “happy weave”.
 Come out of the store and it’s raining.  Shocked (it never rains here) t-shirt, shorts, no helmet, but I wore gloves  Wink Freedom is invigorating. Riding is freedom.

I really like to weave. I call it, "Barrel rolls".
My lane, no one near, rubbing the hiway ridges down.

Thankfully where I live life is full of twists and turns.

Not a hiway ridge to be seen.

I like to slalom when bored.
Few years ago I was riding sweep on a group ride to Cape Cod.
Everyone was behaving so I was playing “manhole cover slalom”.
Then I heard a siren...crap...should have checked my 6.
I started to pull over then saw him cracking up.
Message received, and a thank you wave.

After gassing up and heading home, the street I ride on has man-hole covers every block.  I wait till nearly on them before weaving left or right.   Practicing my evasive skills.  Lots more fun when i have someone in front of me and can't see the covers till very near.  Those in back of me do tend to stay off my 6'.   Of course the street is a 25 mph one, but no one goes that slow.  AND LEO's don't tend to go on it much.

I ride with 3 to 4 of the same guys, when on two lanes, we go single file and the fun begins...we all do the dance....

Y'all need to move where the dance comes naturally because of the mountain roads.   Cheesy
