OK, this might be a bit emo and I might get flamed but what the hell:

Things in my life are insane right now and driving me bat **** crazy. Today I thought I would just start screaming at random people, then thought
I need to ride....and ride. just get on my bike and cleanse my brain.
Anybody else tend to do this? Or is it maybe a bad idea to ride when I'm nuts for saftety's sake.

.....OK..I feel better now.

Well, the sane, sober advice is to not ride while distracted.

But my experience is that a ride can be very theraputic, indeed.


(re: Emo.... I wish my lawn was emo... then it would cut itself! Badoom-boom!)
 
I find that when I have a lot on my mind, jumping on the bike and going for a ride tends to help. My friends and I call it "throttle therapy"
 
make a video of what's bothering you, post on forum. It will make you feel better and your crazy will go away.

LoL...
Back on topic, I find that when I am stressed or have a lot on my brain, I go for a ride. It helps me clear my mind, clam down and relax...
 
Going for a ride, running, punching the crap out of a heavy bag, taking the dog for a walk, all do wonders for my state of mind. When I'm upset with things I try to do one or more of those and it helps a lot.

However, being angry as hell and jumping on the bike is not the best idea for me as it tends to translate to harsh twists of the throttle for a while until I calm down some.

This was my question, but i don't think I'm completely distracted. Thing is actually, part of the motorcycle therapy is focusing my mind on the riding, being in the present and away from all the other crap.

I'm riding! Thanks to all

What's that saying?

No one ever sees motorcycles parked out front of therapists offices?
 
Same. When I got my current back earlier this summer I was going through a lot of crapola and found when I was out riding, I wasn't worrying about anything other than staying alive...and having fun :)

Fill up the gas tank, pick a direction and just keep riding till your gas light comes on. Repeat a few times, then turn around to come home. maybe ;)
 
depends alot on your personality my friend. If u are quite stable now, go for a ride. If u are twitching and frothing at the mouth, I recommend therapy.

I had a psychology prof who used to shake his head and sigh deeply before we enter his office. Then he would proceed to discuss how much he hated his GF's little runt dog. I guess that's how he dealt with his stress. Very interesting character
 
Riding is my wonder drug and it cure all my ailment, took a long ride last july and it helped a lot.
My demons can't catch me while im riding my bike, untill my bike broke down.

Living downtown Toronto does that, trust me ;)
 
I had a lot of depression following brain surgery a bunch of years ago, riding my bike was the only thing that kept me sane and off of antidepressants.
