For me, it's literally my zen. Have a ****** day? Go to the shop and work on a bike. Even if it's just a wax job. Check the chain. Check the tires. Check the fluids. Gets my mind off of the other parts of life.

Crank up the tunes and just go away for a while.


I would had post the same, word by word.

Adding that I feel a deep connection with the tools that I use to work on my motorcycle, as well as on my other's bikes/cars/bicycles/karts.

Those have become extensions of my mind and hands.
Few things are more frustrating than reaching for the right tool at the very right moment (yes, it works like a symphony, where instruments must be played at the correct time) and not finding it there.
