Thumbs up

can't tell ya how many times ive been pushed to the edge with stress only to get on the scoot to relize its all bs and nothing is worth my peace of mind. We all have pain. Can we do anything to fix it? Nope. its part of living. So do what makes the pain feel better. For me, its riding.

Stress is there every day and all the time, riding is the time in between different periods of stress. Take it away and sign me up for a psychiatrist. BTW, winter is too long here and need to ride more. :-)

Normally I would agree whole heartedly,
Except on todays ride the stress level kicked up about 5 notches when I noticed the disco lights behind me...
Needless to say I ended up with a $135.00 ticket for "79" in a 60...
Just glad he wasn't behind me 10 minutes earlier or I probably wouldn't have had the chance to finish the ride.

When I ride, my brain clicks into bike mode. I tune out everything other that the ride at hand and I am in my "happy place". Whoever said that riding while being stressed out is dangerous, IMO, doesn't ride, because I believe riding helps relieve ones stress.

Thankfully our stressful days are winding down,must be age.Riding our Harleys certainly is good for the soul.Having one just sitting in the garage is also good for the soul.
