So it's been probably 10+ years since I did any real riding, and this week I picked up my new (well actually 20 year old) Ducati 400ss - a nice little bike to get back into riding with. Ive spent the last few days famiiarising mysef with the bike, and gettiing used to riding a "real" bike again having ridden nothing but a Vespa for the last 2 1/2 years. What's occurred to me is that with riding, although you really have to keep your wits about you, it's a perfect outlet for stress relief - not through screaming down the road at 100mph (thats just not my thing!), but that you have to be focussed solely on doing what you are doing. Unlike in a car, you cant go on auto pilot on a bike and have to be completely focusssed on doing what you are doing. When your like that, all the stress in your day to day life is put on hold for a while - thats got to be a good thing!
Well pleased to have a bike again - am really enjoying it. Looking forward to hooking up with some fellow KB's for a ride soon
Cheers
