Biker Therapy (or How Motorcycles Can Be What The Doctor Ordered)

Riding is fun, invigorating, and a little rebellious. But the endorphins your ride produces are really good for your psyche, your attitude, and your productivity.

Guess that is why I have been riding 40 years.

Thus the saying "You never see a motorcycle parked outside a psychiatrist's office"

My job at work is to find solutions and fix other people's problems, even those that they've created themselves. Cursing, profanity and throwing things against the wall can only relieve so much stress. Riding my bike cleanses my mind, soul and gives me the strength to go back to work the next day.

I can honestly say that if it wasn't for my bike, I would have probably been fired for losing control with one of my users.

News last night had a story on that stated that people are more happy if they drove around in a sports car. No mention of a bike.

It's no wonder I'm so well-adjusted.

Saddle time is a place where my mind can go completely blank but super focused on the ride. Almost like a euphoric state.
