Throttle Therapy: Motorcycle Riding, Mental Health, and the Brotherhood of the Road.

Wednesday 26th Mar 2025

There’s something magical about hopping on a motorcycle and letting the world blur past. Revving up a motorcycle isn’t just about the thrill—it’s a ticket to mental clarity and a tight-knit community. The open road offers more than horsepower; it delivers a unique blend of peace, purpose, and connection.
Mentally, riding is a reset button. The roar of the engine and the rush of wind strip away stress, forcing you into the moment. It’s you, the bike, and the asphalt—no room for overthinking.
Then there’s the community. Motorcyclists share an unspoken bond, a tribe built on mutual respect and love for the ride. Whether it’s a nod on the highway or a meetup for small coffee rides.
For me, it’s the combo that hits hardest: the solitude of a solo ride to clear my head, followed by swapping stories with fellow riders. Just the simple act of gearing up for the ride, uplifts my mood. I am hoping to log many more miles this year.
Lets roll!

I'm Riding for Men's Health in The Distinguished Gentleman's Ride

Tuesday 25th Mar 2025 On Sunday the 18th of May 2025, I'm riding in The Distinguished Gentleman's Ride with fellow men and women across the globe to raise funds and awareness for prostate cancer and men's mental health on behalf of Movember. Men die on average 6 years earlier than women and for largely preventable reasons. The number of men that are suffering is growing, and we need to do something about that. So, before I press my tweed and polish my boots, I'm asking you to join me in raising funds and awareness for these causes by donating what you can for this meaningful cause and to help the men we love, live happier and healthier lives.
