Default V-Twin Therapy

Anybody besides me ever notice that when life really sucks, a ride on the Harley makes it all better ?
I was laid off from my job June 29th, because the company i've worked for for 28 yrs. is closing up.
( anybody from michigan knows how bad the economy is here. )
My wife's dad passed away 2 weeks ago.
I just got back from a long ride and i feel alot better.

Yeah, all the BS just melts away don't it. My brother just left Kellogs in Battlecreek and went to Nestle in Ohio and he said the same thing about people losing jobs in Michigan.

Yeah- and the Harley doesn't kill your sex drive! (Ask me how I know... [8D] )

Lots of times when I'm riding home from work the 20 minute ride home turns into a 2 hour stress relieving jaunt down some back country road.
Turn off the radio, listen to the sound of the engine, feel the vibes, smell the fresh air...
Yes, I always feel better after a nice ride.
