![Why Motorcyclists Don't Need a Therapist! [4 Reasons]](/img/tr.png)
I once read on a motorcycle number plate ‘No need for a therapist; my motorcycle keeps me sane’. Although a professional therapist is a live saving endeavour, there’s nothing like feeling sane and centred on a motorcycle. Great film!
Thanks for watching!
You will not see motorcycles parked in front of the mental health counselors office.
Nothing, nothing could relieve the stress like a good 2 wheeler. I stopped riding due to my age. Last bike was a 2001 Triumph Sprint ST. I actually started much younger than most. My parents rode when my Mom was pregnant.
You have reminded me how much I need this back in my life. I need to seriously look at at 3 wheelers.
Nice video, thanks.
I had a terrible career decision that went terribly wrong. That led to six months at home (4 on garden leave) and two with the pressure of job hunting with a greatly reduced income. When the spring arrived, snow melted and the temperature crept up the first thing I did was ride my motorcycle for 2 hours straight in the sun. The freedom, feeling centred, focused on how great the Z900RS felt through the curves and the mindfulness was the escape and lift that I needed. I forgot about the stress, the guilt of what my family was experiencing because of me and the uncertainty. This video is incredibly inspiring and congratulations to all the ladies involved 😊
Excellent video,the motorcycle is the therapy,the more you ride it the more therapeutic it becomes.
When riding you simply cannot be anywhere else,the riding demands your complete attention and so there's no room for anything else in the mind,this is the very definition of mindfulness,and mindfulness is to be in the here and now.Nowness is mindfulness.
Riding my bike in Scotland brings me joy.
Brilliant. Stay in the wind sisters.
Riding a motorbike is a 100% freedom....
Beautifully shot film, met a couple of the ladies in this at the Edinburgh Distinguished Gentlemans Ride this year and it was brilliant to see how many turned up to show support and engage with mental health awareness. Roll on 2023!
Fabulous. Inspirational. Loaded with truth ! 😊
Ladies what a great video ❤
This was awesome! Beautifully shot and beautiful messages!
Glad you enjoyed!
Your jacket is sick bro!! :D
Nice video 👍
Great video and well said, not only riding a bike gives you the feeling of freedom and at peace with yourself and to have the privilege of being able to ride the stunning roads in Scotland too is awesome, bringing mental awareness to all is a great thing to do, I’ve ridden all around Scotland and the outer Hebrides and also the DGR and as you know brings awareness to mental health, thank you and safe riding 👍
Thanks for sharing Dani. Glad to hear you are enjoying a passion that is beneficial for your mental health and wellbeing. Great stuff.
In our first years of marriage my wife started-out as my pillion, then passed her test and got her own bike. Fast-forward fifteen years and we've two kids, and though I've encouraged her and bought a couple of the retro-style Bonnies she likes, she says she's no inclination to ride. Shame. I think it's a great mind-clearing activity. I guess she'll be back on two wheels when she wants to. Enjoyed the video by the way.
So important, great raveal. Vital insight.
So glad I came across this video. At 44 I have just done a cbt and bought a 125. I'm terrified.
Just take it slow and do some slow turning and braking exercises somewhere on a quiet carpark 😊
A well put together film . Life is tough, more so now then ever before so getting out on my bike is so important to make the mind smile. To those people who are struggling you are not alone .
i love this video!!!! i really relate !!! ... (is there a group for female bikers in scotland ?) would love to join
What a brilliant presentation. Good on you. Your standing up on the bike is exactly what I do, and it is SO fab, isn’t it? Go easy, go well.
Great to hear people talking about there mental health , having a bike and watching blockers has certainly helped me
So glad to hear it! Thank you for watching.
Spot on- riding is one of the only things that quites my mind.
Brilliant

If you ever come to Warwickshire, please give me a nudge. God bless you all.
I have been riding for the last 45 years and my wife has been riding for the last 40 years if you ever up in the far north of Scotland 🏴 caithness if you're need a help no worries just ask
It’s the biz for those who try🐒🏴
These strong independent women need to start women groups. Ha ha.
I hate it when these people attach their psycosis with such a fun and light activity ....its true motorcycling does have positive effects on the way you feel but so does every fun activity you get a chance to do...
Saying i ride to take my mind off everything else or I ride to cure my anxiety sounds so melodramatic .
Keep it real gals.. motorcycling is about speed , freedom and a canvas you can design and decorate to suit and represent your taste and personality... its not a mental healt pill and it does not heal you if you have real psycological issues.... we cant expect Ted Bundy to start riding a motorcycle and whenever he felt a urge to kill some one he would jumo on his bikes drag knee through a few twisties and forget that he wanted to kill someone
Whew! What a beautifully made video, important topic and helpful piece... thank you! Scotland is on my list (if you're ever in the States/Colorado, get in touch and I can show you some incredible rides...)
