Ode to the motorcycle, and a little bit of ... happiness

That’s a profound one. Whether you agree or not the ‘human race’ is top of the food chain. we are also blessed and cursed in equal measure by imagination, emotions, desires and individually are all narcissistic (to some degree). Whatever I want is more important that whatever you want. Broadly speaking. Travel is just one of many many things we abuse. The COVID year has been awful, over 120,000 have died in the UK. So families have suffered, some folk feel they need and deserve a holiday, whatever negative impact that has on the environment is ‘meh’, someone else can worry about that. Multiply that by hundreds of thousands of air passengers and there you go. Human race at it again. Of course the Airline Industry wants money/profit so it feeds the need and sells dreams. Then we have factory farming, chemicals in our food, burning down rain forests, climate change, don’t get me started on litter and plastics!

Back to the forum. I don’t need a motorbike, I like it, I enjoy it but don’t need it. So I am being selfish if I’m totally honest with myself. However, I justify that (to myself) by saying I’m only here once, I worked for it. I don’t know what the answer is j3gq, really don’t. I see merit in the ‘don’t overthink it’ approach.

There’s an expression over here ‘be more dog’. I think it means just be in the moment. I try to be more dog, but it’s really hard to let go. Trouble is, if we all do that then where will we all end up? In 20 years time (if I’m very lucky that is) I will be dead anyway so WTF
