Motorbikes & Mental Health. A Stunning Cinematic Motivational Motorcycle Film with BMW R 18

[@Majorowiec]

This is literally the highlight of a big piece of my life right now. Getting a bike and hitting a gym hard helped me to cope with a breakup with a lady, who at that time, I thought was my soulmate and future wife. I lost all self-confidence, thinking I am noone and nothing will make my life better. How wrong I was ! Decided to get my sh*t together and live my life to the fullest. Both, cuising a bike and killing my body at the gym helped me to get rid of a bad energy and turned it into something positive. Now I am stronger than ever (both, mentally and phisically) and I am looking forward to the future. Remember gents, always put yourself and your wellbeing first, no matter what ! Stay strong !

I'm 51, bought my first bike this year in May, a 2022 Street Twin, thanks in large part to your review. I've already put 8,000 miles on it riding throughout the Appalachian Mountains of the U.S. - Motorcycling has changed my life for the better. I'm no longer depressed, I've got a better relationship with my kids now, I've lost 30 lbs, and haven't felt this good in years. Thank you for making this. And thanks for all the great content you've created.

[@ry491]

What a beautifully put together video . I have only just found your channel. Subbed of course. I am 82 and recently lost my wife after 56 blissful years. Like you I am somewhat introverted but not shy . I find motorcycling my only real relief from the nightmare of grief. A short while after losing my wife I bought a different bike . A lighter one that I can move around and use easily . It gives me freedom and peace . Often I chat to other bikers or just passers by who admire my bike or remember ones they had themselves. I stop at beauty spots and take in the views . It reminds me that life is still worth living even though I am now alone. I love that little tea shop in your vid . Just my kind of place . Enjoy your bikes and your life .. Thomas

[@MrDarcy-OlMan]

Thanks bro. Sorry to hear about your wife. Im sure you'll enjoy tonights video. Uploading it right now.

[@davesadler2890]

I watched this video, and by the time it was finished I had tears in my eyes... I had welled up I don't mind admitting... you, are me... although I am different in stature. Your love of nature, animals and of course motorbikes, is my world. I am introverted, but like you, quiet I am not... I am an older person too, 66 years old shortly, but going through a difficult period of my life which I am determined to get through. Today I was struggling, but just coming across your video has stiffened my resolve to remotivate myself... thank you, from another old bold biker.

[@davesadler2890]

@Jfred Thank you mate, as an airborne soldier for 20 years I intend to do just that...

Motorcycles, weight lifting and my kids are all I live for. I got off anxiety medication a few years ago once I hit the weights again and got my dream Harley. The Smokey Mountains are God's country for bikes and they are my church.

Wonderful and brave film. I started riding in 1970 but, like many others, put the pastime aside after I met my wonderful wife and began a family and career. In 2001, she was diagnosed with what ended up being terminal cancer. Throughout her illness, the thought of returning to motorcycling kept me somewhat sane. After her passing, I got a bike and took several trips, alone, covering thousands of miles. It got me through it and life eventually worked out. But you are so right, find your passion and grab it. Currently riding a Speedmaster and every ride is therapy.

[@camdenwalker6106]

Dude, that's hard! Life is full of pain. But pain is certain, suffering is optional. Great that you got through it!

I live in rural Northumberland now, but being retired, easy access to fresh air and my lovely Ducati keeps me very happy…not forgetting my lovely younger wife of 34 years.

Do you know what, this is me! I'm 58 now, and been going to the Gym since i was 18! I gave it up in 2015 because i thought i was getting too old for it. Been Depressed ever since! I've bought a new motorbike every year since 2015, and i still seem to be missing something in life, even though i love being out on a bike on my own. This video has made me decide to go back to the Gym. Well done for for making this.

This was quite powerful and I appreciate you doing it. I ride alone and never feel lonely. Riding, especially on country roads is an elevated level of consciousness that has to be experienced to be understood. Cheers 🍻

Great film! 60 year old here, who used bikes, my home gym, the great outdoors and my animals to recover from a breakdown in 2013, which resulted in a major life/career 'downsize'. Never been happier than now. Would love a quick tour of the gym. Keep up the good work....

[@craigwilson8228]

Thank you for the video. I'm an introvert but I find riding the bike forces me to get out and I actually talk to people more as they comment on my bike so much.

[@mork3271]

You sir are a legend. I've been all those mentioned above. I recently made the decision to dump the meds, (in consultation with my doctor). The change, has been the way I view myself, my environment and those I love. The first thing I do every day, is to tell myself out loud: today is going to be a great day. Starting with your video, has helped get that off to a cracking start. Thank you.

[@MrDarcy-OlMan]

Thanks buddy. Great to hear that. All the best 💪🏼

[@jerhughes500]

I think, for me anyway, a lot of us have to experience the absolute low to be able to finally realize what is important. Getting off the treadmill of work, bills, etc is impossible for most people, but getting the balance of what you actually need, being around the right people for you, having something that makes you feel better, which could be sitting listening to nature or going to a thrash metal concert, is so important. My life has changed dramatically in the last 3 years to what it was, and I’m on my way back up, so to speak. You don’t have to have the newest bike, or the expensive foreign holiday, you can do both for a lot less and still get the same, or even more joy. One more thing I would add. Talk to people if you’re not doing well. If they don’t like it or don’t want to know then I’d suggest they shouldn’t be in your life. Thanks for the video.

[@wingandhog]

This is an important well-rounded message. Having a sense of well being is more than just working out or riding a bike or any one thing you can think of. It’s a combination of all of it. And yes, doing the things that inspire each of us is key. 💯% agree! Thanks for taking the time to produce it.

100%. I’m 67 and believe this to be truth speak. Training, working out, the gym, has been an integral part of my life since high school. For much the very same reasons and rationale. Now having the behavior in place, a healthy lifestyle’s benefits are more clear. It’s about Quality of life being the most important element when the quantity is not guaranteed. Very well said here. Thank you. Peace

[@killorbytes]

Thanks for this, the more this type of thing is talked about, the more it will become common place and not "off limits" or a stigma. I made a huge decision 2 1/2 years ago when I turned 50 and bought my first bike, a 2016 Moto Guzzi V7ii Stone, and started riding. I had wanted to ride my whole life-but never did because there was always that voice in my head and everybody's opinion about what motorcycles are and are not.

[@Ganesh.krish0212]

Three things Don’t like - 1)Still haven’t bought my W800 2)Still haven’t settled my debts 3)Still haven’t found the courage to be in a relationship. Do like 1) Realised I am a good teacher and that my students adore me, makes me proud every time they teach others what I ve taught them. 2) Mentally & physically in a far better place, workout and do my Yoga everyday.. I make the bodybuilders at the gym, sit with me for Yoga sessions and they have become injury free.. 3) Figured out who I truly am and what my purpose is on this beautiful journey and grateful to the rest of humanity, especially to our forefathers. The solution to the financial part is on its way, but the relationship part, got no clue.. In India, relationship is one crazy terminology and isn’t easy. Things are rather weighed in pros and cons with decisions involving the rest of the family.. You ain’t pleasing just the one you love but their entire family too .. Last year a friend had to break up a relationship of 8 years simply coz the girl’s father didn’t like the caste/ creed this boy belongs too. No other reason, none.. Funny how this side of the world works in this time and age. We are way advanced in technology yet still 2000 years behind culturally.

I cannot express how good gym is for mental health its almost like meditation and makes you feel fantastic. Lifting weights halves your chance of most major illness such as brain disease, skeletal or heart issues too. it also massively reduces ageing go look at some of those guys who lift into there 70s and 80s they look 20 years younger. Gym also boosts confidence massively by proxy. You don't even realise until you done it a while you just become a far more confident person.

We all get depressed at time. My advice is to get off your ass and go for a walk, ride to a local restaurant (even fast food) and have a meal and find a good video or movie to watch. I use to be a physical fitness nut (bicycling, sailing, hiking and weight lifting), but after multiple heart problems, I now ride my motorcycle wherever and whenever I can. The day’s ride is extremely beneficial and cost very little money.

Working from home during covid lockdown and getting seriously tired of the groundhog day lifestyle made me finally commit to my long term interest of getting my first large bike (and only bike I've ever really had properly registered for road use etc). I was honestly terrified after I got off the phone from the dealer when I had committed to buying my RE Interceptor. Pretty sure I was literally shaking. I was (still sorta am) worried about the dangers of motorbikes and seemed convinced I had signed my death certificate by getting it, and was even worried what my parents would think (even though I was bloody 29!). The day I went down to pick it up a couple of hours train ride away I was similarly scared and in a worried mindset where I was expecting the worst and thinking I'd made a huge mistake. Now 2.5 years later I'm still alive and well and riding that motorbike is still something that gives me a thrill every time. I've met great people through riding, and taking it out is a favourite activity for me and my girlfriend (who's newer than the bike) to do together. If I need some time to think, a ride by myself is a great way to do it. Sometimes on a nice day in the right environment, with some good music through the in-helmet speakers it makes me feel seriously overcome with joy and absolutely loving being alive. Weird to say but it almost makes you feel like you could shed a tear with joy sometimes, and that's just cruising along calmly! The great bike experience, as with a couple of other things I've done in my life that I was originally scared of but ended up enjoying, is making me less worried about trying other new things. TL:DR - I agree, buy the flipping bike!

[@andyedmond248]

G'day not so ol' man. I'm an Aussie Veteran, 65 this year, and I have both physical and mental health issues. My physical disability (spinal injury), is directly linked to my mental health in that my motorcycle, (and my rifle shooting), is my therapy. Severe nerve damage in both legs means that my ability to go for a ride whenever I wanted to has been somewhat curtailed to say the least. I have been riding for the last 49 years, soon to be 50. Pain and discomfort become a secondary concern as soon as I sit on my fjr1300 and start her up. My absolute love of riding motorcycles is what gives me the strength and determination to overcome any cr*p that my body and mind throws at me. The pain of an hour or so of riding is so worth the elation that I feel when I finally get off the bike at home. My mind is clear of all the jumbled confusion and unexplained anger that builds up when I am not at my most approachable self, and I really believe that without my bikes, (and my understanding wife), I would have just given up and drowned in selfpity. As you have so well demonstrated in this video brother, life is worth living. Many thanks for putting this video out there highlighting the fact that we all need to have something in our lives that makes it all worthwhile. Cheers brother, and the countryside looks bloody amazing.

I had years(!) of struggling with acute depression, when I realized I had somehow let my love of motorcycling slip out of my life. So ten-ish years ago, I got back on a bike (then other bikes), started reading a lot more, doing a morning written affirmation associated with the writings of the "Stoics," walking or slow-running (Japanese technique) 3.1 miles (5k) before the sun is up (even if I'm away from home touring on the bike; bikers need to force themselves to move everyday on their own power), and began removing toxic people from my most inner circle. Oh, I'm now 61, never had facial hair (love shaving), but recently added a closely trimmed goatee because of watching my R18 lifestyle doppelganger on this channel who with his son produces stellar content and who's name I don't know. 👌🤙💪 Cheers, Mate 🥃 Greg

But here is my list: Things I like about my life now: 1) the direction I am heading in, 2) my wife (the person I am heading in this direction with), 3) my financial situation -- taking into account that I am student Things I want to change: 1) get my motorcycle license, 2) buy a Harley, 3) play a couple shows with my band

Awesome video brother shared this on my Facebook as I’m a biker 42 years from my first 50cc Suzuki to to harley and ducati where I’ve been last 20 years love your motorbike and you will love life I’ve been a mental health nurse last 30. Years and really thrived helping others best. Advice I can give for your mental health is GET A MOTORBIKE. it’s really that simple don’t get wet rather feel the rain feel the sun on your face connect with the universe and everything around you feel the wind and most of all feel what it is to be alive Love all your vids watch them all 🙏🙏🙏❤️

I returned to motorcycling a year ago with a Royal Enfield 500 ,I have been meeting new people new friends even and taken part in charity rides life is good .

Great video. I struggled with crippling anxiety for most of my adult life, until things finally came to a head during the lockdowns. 3 bottles of bourbon a week and lots of weed to boot were no longer the answer. I had to make some changes. Getting back into motorcycling gave me new focus and joy, and I no longer feel any desire for the old habits which were only bandaids for deeper issues. Beautiful area you're in. I grew up on a sheep ranch.
