Zen Of Motorcycle Riding

The ride for a soul.

[@goldilocks913]

Always remember riding my bike back to my parents house one night as the year slipped from summer into autumn and there was a slight chill in the air.l approached an old bridge over a river with a lovely old farmhouse ,its windows shining out a golden glow reflecting on the mist that covered the road and as l passed through the band of water vapour l felt it touching my face and neck and I felt a part of the entire scene not an external actor thrown into it . I tried to explain it to my mom but she just thought l was complaining about the cold 😂

[@davidzukas990]

That was so poetic! I meditate. I used to ride a lot. I've been "and not" for 30 years. You brought it all back so beautifully. Thanks!

[@gozendelest]

Like a fairy tale... the beauty of the sky, the sound of the engine, the music...It's a perfect harmony ! Thanks 🤩

[@pauloandrade4089]

Thanks to share this emotional video.

[@deauvilledad07]

A very thought provoking video, extremely well put together,the choice of music is excellent. I'm in my 70's and have been riding as long as it has been possible. The sheer pleasure of climbing on board and riding off is like a drug, as you say your totally immersed in the moment. Super, super video 🤔🤓🏍️💖

[@alanspence1716]

Wonderful! Superb photography of the sunset, a lovely ride, well ridden, including roads on my side of Colchester, and so very well expressed words about what can happen when motorcycling well. Thank you for this gift.

[@armandblake]

The perfect ride is a rare thing. You could spend your life looking for one, and it would not be a wasted life.

[@grampawatson5539]

This is a beautiful video, the soundtrack of your bike, the beautiful sunset and your words made this so enjoyable. Thank you

[@reneespinosa5460]

Beautiful ride. When I get in the zone I start to spontaneously pray to God and tell Him thank you. Love this video!

[@neilcauldwell4274]

Thanks D.I think we all need a sprinkle of calm with all of the chaos that surrounds us.Hope you feel better soon.Stay warm stay safe and happy always.

[@Orwellianbiker]

Beautifully narrated, Beautifully shot, beautiful riding. Thanks for this ❤

[@merseamoto3098]

What a beautifully brilliant video. Great views around Colchester too. Can’t wait for the better weather to be able to ride the local roads too.

[@jamesshelldubstep]

Colchester!!! What a beautiful town I do miss that place from time to time

[@leswatson8563]

Afternoon Tomboy_a_bit. Throttle therapy is possibly one of the best things to get into. Even when you've got a broken heart. I'm just back from a 1.5 hour cruise with my new heated vest and a small vessel containing my wife's ashes. We're still catching the sun and the wind in our faces and that's all that matters. Spot on girl 👍. Get better soon and safe enjoyable cruising throughout 2024, what a sweet sound that Harley is too 😊🤘...

[@gallimead]

I'll be riding.. then just drifting, thinking, relaxing.. and I've done 20 miles. And I have no idea, recollection, of anything. Weird, but oh my god.. the peace that comes with it

[@user-to3yp7xx3s]

I really liked this. The essence of why we ride. Lovely sound from the Harley! Oh, by the way, Happy New Year!

[@mrsmith4662]

What a great bike ride, even though a lot of it was through towns (and overtaken by a Delivero). The colours of the sky, clouds and the yellow light on the buildings - beautiful. Definitely a healing experience (thanks for sharing).

[@REnfield2022]

Beautiful... For me it was and is motorcycle riding, riding a surfboard (until my body said nah) and dance whether techno or drum circles 🙂 Aldous Huxley when asked what he learned from a lifetime of researching and applying spiritual practices "Be a little kinder to one another"❤

[@johnyoung6498]

Well done tomboy_ a _bit, its not often a rider can explain his/her feelings of what its like to to find your zen. The more you ride the more often you come across it, the combination of engine, weather and landscape create a wild brew that is intoxicating and addictive .... And enjoyable. Happy trails for '24 tomboy_a_bit. Cheers.

It's my meditation also and you are out in nature.

Thanks, I needed that ride!

Thank you so much for the ride round Colchester come from that area ,now live in Poole. It bought back so many memories . You did miss something out the Community Stadium come on you U's😄

That was the aim. To slow the pace down this time.

Thank you for this ride. It helped a lot while I am sick and grounded for winter. I would love to have the soundtrack of your ride on Spotify. 🖤

[@joebloggs1583]

I never new a traffic jam in Colchester could look so appealing 😎👍

[@ttrguy9952]

TomBoy You absolutely Nailed it! It's not about going fast. It's about the experience of ourselves riding on a motorcycle. The speed and challenge don't matter. It's the feeling of freedom that pours through being on a motorcycle. It's our appreciation of our second life. That's why we ride! Every ride feels like a release from the world. You have this passion and love of motorcycles and this video is fantastic proof. You are an amazing Lady D!! Thank you for this video! Wonderful. 👍👍🌹 Ride SAFE and BE safe Lady!

[@tomboyabit]

You got it. I’m so pleased it all makes sense not just to me! 🙏🏻

Schönheit einer Frau, sehr gutes inspirierendes Video, persönlich nach einer langen Zeit des Fahrens mit hohen Geschwindigkeiten, Motorrad, Autos, Booten usw., zu Beginn des Jahres fahre ich nach Saint-Tropez, ich bleibe den ganzen Tag auf dem Meer sitzen, das ist es Sehr entspannend, es ist sehr gut, dass du deinen Schwerpunkt gefunden hast!!! Ich hoffe, dass du dich bald erholst, eine große, liebevolle Umarmung respektvoll!!!

hey , that was a nice ride, bikes are just part of life, it's a matter of a mistake or being in the wrong place at the wrong time.thank you for a good ride

[@dominicfazio2793]

I love your passion for motorcycling . I fully understand. I’ve been riding since I was 13 years old . I started on mini bikes and dirt bikes. I’m 58 years old now and have always found peace in all my rides . I hade a lot of hard times in my life. Where I felt border line depression. Motorcycling has always brought me to a happier place when things seemed impossible. Words can not describe the impact riding makes on me . I’m happy to hear you are enjoying the motorcycle life as well . 😊

I too am a psychologist and neuropsychologist, in California , and I totally agree. Great video 🙏❤️

[@melgagnon9848]

Riding , food for the soul !

[@bearonatinybike]

Cheers for that, Deimante. I just feel so calm riding through towns and villages on a warm, sunny evening on my little Enfield, putt-putting along, and that lovely burble from the Sportster gives me the same feels. During these long, winter months of no riding, it's great to see content like this. Not quite the same as being there and doing it, but it really helps with the mental gloom. Safe travels.

[@thanos_mav]

Thanks for sharing this with us! Great vlog! Best regards!

The temperature here -17°C now.😮 Come ride here in Spring. We ride for hours without seeing electric traffic signals, and few cars. Lots of deer, turkeys, squirrels, and other wildlife.

Ich danke KZbin dafür, dass es einen wunderbaren Menschen gefunden hat, ich nutze keinerlei soziale Netzwerke, beruflich habe ich unzählige Menschen aller Nationalitäten getroffen, und egal wie viele Schwierigkeiten man hat, immer, immer!!! Es gibt einen Ausweg aus so vielen Widrigkeiten! !!bis zum nächsten Video!!!👍👍👍💪

[@supersmudge59]

It's interesting - and coincidental, Diamante - that one of my most formative rides was also near the beginning of the time I started riding. In my case, it was the joy and camaraderie of my first 'longer' journey, with a group of friends, from southern England to Wales (and then back again), in 1978. Even now, I reflect, in meditative moments, on that trip - what it meant, and has continued to mean ever since.

That's such a great video. You're much better at words than me. But it's basically being in the moment no matter how corny that sounds. Style of riding isn't important, just being right there now.

[@millinutz]

I hope youi are being looked after well, taking it easy and allowing yourself enough time, to get back fit, and properly well, before entering back into the stress of a KZbin content creaters life again. An absolutely wonderful Video Dei, with the right music in the background to perfectly enhance it, with excellent and very very true commentary. The pictures here reminded me a little of a John Constable picture. Do you know this Painter? In fact, you live near Constable country. I loved the Short you put out a little while back of this ride, and am so glad we get to see the full length version here.. Take Care, S.

i think motorcycle riding is getting way too romanticized on social media. dont get me wrong i love riding but for the thrill and friendship it brings. imo its not really zen, its actualy really stressfull especialy in todays traffic situation. but it gives one hell of a thrill especially in racing.

[@jakesolo2872]

I love driving, always have, the novelty has never worn off. But it’s a 2nd class experience. Riding a bike is something else entirely. It’s the necessary full engagement in a single task. It’s impossible to “clear your mind”. The closest you can get is to lose everything but one thing. For me, that happens automatically when I get on and start up a bike. I never play music or chat when I’m riding. I don’t ride in groups either. If you asked me what was I thinking about when I was out on the bike, I probably couldn’t tell you. Riding. That’s it.
