Riding is like eating a pepperoni, banana and green olive pizza. Its fulfilling, makes your mouth water, and reminds you that good things happen every day. Sometimes we just need a little reminder that life is grand. Everyone gets in a bad mood; it’s just a fact of life. The trick is to find ways to uplift the mind and body when you’re down. For me getting on my cycle does the trick every time. It sounds crazy but helping others is a huge pick me up as well. Positive kind acts normally benefits the gifter much more than the receiver. Now combine the Feel Good Power of Charity along with Riding and you have one potent endorphin rush, hence the popularity of Benefit Rides.
Don’t be a Sad Panda, participate in Local and National Biker Benefit Rides and get happy. Doing so defines the phrase, “Win, Win Situation”.

It’s a powerful mix of FEEL GOOD! The biker community is such a giving community … always looking to do something for someone! Thanks so much for following! I’ve been slowly finding other motorcycle bloggers and I’m glad to have you found your blog, too!

Welcome to my blog and come back any time. Bikers are great b/c they can be such a hard core crowd but can be so nice and cool at the same time. Let the ride continue!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

I believe that the reason that bikers are so committed to giving is that they are, in general, committed people (dedicated, not crazy). It takes dedication to ride a bike and that drive (no pun intended) easily extends to other aspects of bikers lives. I’ve never meet more caring and loving people as I’ve meet riding bikes.

So true and I agree immensely. It does take dedication to ride. Who would have thought that dedication can be so true.

Yeah, man I got some of that last night, after work, it had warmed up to the low 50s so I took the long way home. I just put a new exhaust on my old girl, and the sound of that pipe blows the blues away. Shiny Up!

50 degrees is not bad riding weather. Something about the rumble of new pipes and cool blowing fresh air that makes life perfect.
