I enjoy driving all over the place, does not matter where.

I just love driving around seeing the beauty that is around us. I enjoy driving either standard or automatic vehicles, trucks or cars. The longer the drive, the better. I am always very careful when i drive a vehicle because i also ride my motorcycle. And by riding a motorcycle, you are more aware of you surroundings.
