A little motorcycle therapy if you're going through some hard times

Found this post on reddit about a guy who's wife left him so he bought a Harley. It lead me down a rabbit hole of what actually happens to our brains during a breakup, and whether or not motorcycling really actually helps...

Spoiler for those who don't want to watch:








Yes. It does. Specifically because of how breakups impact us and our minds. They don't just take a person away from us, they take a part of ourselves away... It just so happens that motorcycles coincidentally do an almost perfect job of helping us cover exactly the ways breakups affect us.

I've been riding 45 years now. 3 years ago the wife picked a trail and haven't seen her since. It just allowed more riding lol. Good riddance. Happy apexes.

I'm the one that left and it took me more than 5 years before I was 'right' with things. Since then I've told a couple of people that, if you can't hack 5 years of brain @#$& then consider if it's really worth the costs.
