Bike Guy

That time spent riding does not count towards the time you are alotted on this earth. Now bear with me, dear reader, because I'm asking you to make the following leaps of faith:

1) God, Vishnu, Buddha, Mohammed, Yahweh, etc. exists and he /she / it has a sense of humor and a biker mentality.
2) That free will has little effect on the time you're allowed here - in other words, when your number's up, your number's up. No sense worrying about what you can't control.

If my theory is correct, one could conceivable live forever, if you allowed yourself enough time in the saddle. This would go a long way towards explaining Keith Richards longevity.

Riding a bike at speed is a very relaxing, pseudo-religious affair. The perfect ride, like the perfect sermon, both relaxes and invigorates you. Hits the old "karmic reset button", and spins your meters back to zero.

Riding puts you in touch with yourself, with nature, with your creator - and if THAT ain't religion, boys and girls - well, it ought to be.
