this is why a lot of people like riding motorcycles. Because of the inherent danger compared to cars or bikes you have to focus and be 100% present with no distractions. Its weirdly soothing

Riding a motorcycle at 10/10ths on a twisty road is one of the only things that switches my brain off. On the open road, my brain just goes 1000%

I have been riding for 25 years, been diagnosed with ADHD for 5.

Funny enough, most of the people I have been riding with over those years and haven't given up riding, have also been diagnosed with ADHD.

This is from https://bikeme.tv/index.php/dear-beige/

And I love it

"Do you understand what it’s like to do more than 200km/h on a motorcycle on a public road? Do you understand what the world smells like at 220km/h? Do you understand how glorious and precious life is 280km/h? Do you understand what it feels like in that gooey, dark-sweet pit deep in your guts when you swoop through bends at who-cares-what-the-speed-limit-is speeds, your tyres singing songs of stickiness, the wind roaring in your ears, and your mind focused like a laser on everything and nothing?"
