Some of the postings here seem to indicate that riding a motorcycle is a form of therapy, which it certainly can be in many cases.  However to remain safe, riding a vehicle like a motorcycle requires your full attention and focus and if your mind is distracted by some other event that you are trying to "therapy away" - then perhaps you shouldn't be riding at that moment.  In other words, don't hop on your motorcycle when having a fit or rage at some personal incident, expecting that the riding will wash away your bad thoughts...your mind is likely not focusing on the ride and that's when oops happen.

too much of our lives is spent multitasking.  its frigging draining.
i dont want to think about anything else, and i'm completely focused on one thing when i'm riding or wrenching.
it is therapeutic.  it is my way of recharging.

So folks I started this mess and I must say I am pleased with the outcome so far. I am adding another word which is a little short of the world longest word which is 189,819 chars. This word is only 438 chars so we have a long way to go but a great start.

Adventure for riding and relax for wrenching.

Hmm, or is it the other way around  ;D
