My Mental Health

Didn’t realise how good riding a motorcycle is for my mental health. Suddenly, the world feels much lighter.

I remember seeing this image of anatomy couple years back and thinking, my customers spend fortunes making their bikes lighter and faster, but don’t spend anywhere near the same effort in taking care of themselves.

Nowadays I look at abandoned cars imagining the stories they could tell and more importantly, the advice they could share.

I remember, the night my father passed away, leaving the hospital thinking if only I could download this man’s knowledge into my head… not knowing he would pass away later that evening. Hindsight is 20/20 vision, but unfortunately theres no going back to change things and “the body keeps score”… but apparently, so does the mind.

The irony, it’s taken a good “panel beating” from life to start taking care of my physical and mental state, the same way I care about my vehicles!
