T.H.E.R.A.P.Y

I think everyone needs some sort of therapy. I don't mean that each person has the need for a shrink or therapist, more like we all need something that helps let go of things and sort out stuff that some times bogs down the mind.

For me, motor cycling is my therapy. I can't say how many times I have been in a frame of mind where I just need to "shake it" and being out on Blackie provides that. I don't know if there are other riders out there who has the same feeling but for me, the moment I get on the bike and head out, it is like I enter in to what is for me a peaceful mind. I let go of everything and only pay attention to the road, the bike and the surroundings.

This past weekend I had a rough day. My oldest dog Milky is not doing well. She had a very bad morning and it was stressful, for the both of us. After a few hours I got her settled and I knew what I had to do. Go for a ride to clear my head, let go of the bad ju-ju. It worked! It does every time for me.

I'm sure there is someone out there that may argue and say that it is not good to go out and ride unless you have a clear head etc. I want to clarify that I would never put my self at risk by getting on my bike and go for ride unless I felt alert and able to ride. Just so you know.
