Sometimes you need to get away from everyday life...

[Spiff]

The other day it felt like the whole world was against me... So fed up with basically everything I decided to take the gs for a trip, leave crying kids and nagging girlfriend behind, clear my head and so on...
So I rode for about half an hour then turned of the road towards the water, sat down on the quay and did NOTHING! just stared at the water, the sunset, the bike... listening to the birds, the water.... complete serenity... I think I sat like that for an hour, was just what I needed to get back on track.
So sometimes you need to get away, doesn't have to be too far away either...

And bike's (GS models of course) are the best possible way to get there.

It ususally doesn't take me too long of a ride to get a whole new perspective on things, really unstresses me.

Couldn't have said it better. Too bad many non-riders just don't "get it".

Great story and pics, Spiff.

It doesn't hurt that you live in such a beautiful place! Where I live doesn't look even remotely like that, but I guess at least I can ride pretty much all year 'round.

I guess the only downside to living in Norway would be the Nazi zombies. I saw this documentary called "død sno", and...

True enough, but I have heard it said just a little bit differently.

"Don't gor for a ride to clear your head. Clear your head, then go for a ride."

Some people need strong meds to keep them sane. I only need 2 wheels and an empty road.

It's always easier to ask forgiveness than permission.

Truth for the soul. Cool to know this universal truth is in any State of Mind, any country.

No cell phone, no rules, just ride far far away.

Know exactly what you mean, sunsets do it for me, used to ride to the top of hill I knew and just sit there all alone and take in the sunset.
Reflection is good for the soul, I find the older I get, the more I do it.

Beautiful part of the world you live in and stunning photographs, thanks for sharing.

I've always enjoyed sunsets too, here's some old pictures I've taken from home

Took both bikes out today, first time in a long time due to rain. It was really great to be outside and riding again, I'm good for a week now!
