That is fairly common actually. Usually it means that the carbs are either dirty or the cables are not moving freely. Easiest thing to do is take off the cables and lube them and slide the cable back and forth. If you have some resistance, oil some more and see if that helps, if not , new cables as any bend in the line will only make it worse.
The ride IS the adventure. The destination is just to get gas!
