Many of us have motorcycles. We use it for our works. Just taking it for our work in the morning and returning by night. Everyone do this right? But apart from this, motorcycling have lot of advantages and benefits to us. But according to me, rather than buying a motorbike, if you build your motorbike from scratch, it'll catch a separate place in your heart. I'll try to post something about my dream bike in future. Now, let us see about some benefits of biking.
Stress buster
I like to share some of my experience here. There was a time where i'm under extreme pressure and stress. It felt like every damn problem on this world is on me. I guess everyone might have experienced this situation once. What i've done is, i isolated myself from the world. I kept all my mobile phone and stuffs in home and started to ride away. It was evening with a pleasant sunlight. Mostly, i'll travel in a road which is empty. There'll be no one. It's just you and your motorbike. Lots of thought will be wandering in your mind. Riding at a minimal speed of 35-40 kmph at an empty road refreshed me. Throttling always depends on our mood. But when i find an empty road, i'll ride in low speeds only. The way in which the air-fuel mixture burnt by the sparkplug not only forces the piston down but made me comfortable. Like the burnt air-fuel mixture leaving the combustion chamber, the thoughts and words which made you hurt will leave your mind and you'll be fresh. Riding also gave me lot of time for thinking about the solutions for my problem. You cannot experience this without riding.
Involving
When you ride your motorbike, you'll not be in a closed environment. You'll be making your body parts busy in clutching, braking, throttling, shifting gears. You have to focus on the road. You'll get no time to think about the person who made you hurt or the matter which you worry about. But you can get plenty of time to think about the solution for your problems which relieves you from it.
Learning from every ride
For a rider, every ride is a new experience. Whether it is a short commute or a long ride. You can learn many things new about you and your surroundings. This helps us to develop more. You may face a problem or you'll come across new things or you're riding alone. Everything is a new experience and you can learn a lesson from that.
Money saving factor
Motorbike are cost effective form of personal transport. You are polluting less and getting a decent amount of mileage compared to a car. The amount of money you spend on road tax and insurance is lesser compared to a four wheeler. This includes buying cost and service costs also.
Sharpens your reflex
Reflex translates to the ability to act quickly without thinking whenever necessary. Riding a motorbike always improves your reflex without a doubt. While riding, you are involved in many activities like overtaking, cornering, rev matching, lane keeping and several other things. Imagine you are cruising in a highway and suddenly a obstacle appears. That decision you take before facing a obstacle will decide whether you are going to overcome it or not. Or imagine you are going to take a corner. Automatically you'll brake, downshift and lean yourself. This happens within a second or two without thinking. So we can conclude that riding improves your reflex automatically.
Boosts us
Many of us have goals and dream in our life. We all work hard and put lots of effort to achieve it. You may have a goal of long ride to a pleasant place or to build your own bike or upgrading to a new one. When you set a goal and work according to that, your working efficiency will increase and boosts you to achieve it.
Becoming part of the nature
When you are passing a scenery in your car, what you'll do is roll down your window and enjoy it. In case of motorbikes, you don't need to feel it. You'll become part of the scenery. You can enjoy the nature and feel the air. You can smell it and you can experience the pleasant weather. There'll be no windows or visors to block you from experiencing it.
