My brother and I know of locations of free figs by the road. We take our motorcycles and have plastic bags when we are on such a mission. Sometimes we see two crops a year. We ride for both the green and the black figs - Not that there is even the slightest problem with comming up with reasons to ride. Figs can do a number on your tongue, but they are worth it.
