How do you use your Motorcycle?

I am planning on buying a bike to ride this summer (and beyond) and I’m curious how other people enjoy their rides?

Do you primarily ride for transportation and go about normal life on two wheels instead of four? Do you frequently get on your bike and just ride in some direction without a destination? Do you typically connect with a buddy/buddies - where do you go and what do you do? Do you ever set out with some kind of mission in mind (find something cool to see/eat/do) or do you just focus on the ride and let the rest of your stress settle into the quiet back part of your mind? What is your ride routine typically like? What are some memorable rides you’ve had?

I know it’s a silly question and I bet most riders do all of these at some point or another, but starting out I’m not entirely sure how I’d use the bike once I have it. The idea of being on two wheels sounds great, I’ve got a convertible sports car and use it for Sunday drives and Saturday dinners. I imagine the bike will be similar.

I recognize there will be some period where I’m mostly focused on learning to ride and navigate the road on two wheels, but my question really is about what happens after that.
