My self care motorcycle and photography adventure

My self care motorcycle and photography adventure

After dreaming about it for more than 25 years but putting it off to keep others happy, at the end of last year I finally got my motorcycle licence and a bike.

After a most relaxing ride this afternoon I thought this would be a good idea for a thread as it is most definitely part of my self care strategy.

I'm sure anyone who has ridden a bike will understand what I mean 😁

Until today my rides have been just that, rides. I tried it out this afternoon and want to allow more time for stops and enjoy another self care activity. Photography. If I can share some of those photos then maybe others can enjoy the ride with me 😊

In addition to the self powered bike ride this afternoon I managed a decent ride on my motorbike. Had to head out to do a repair job for a friend so took the opportunity to ride and take a more scenic rather than direct route. Always feel relaxed after a ride.

Looking forward to restrictions being lifted further so I can head to the hills for a much longer ride.

Managed my first recreational ride this afternoon. Found myself home alone so decided to check out a forest track I have been wanting to head down for a while.

Keen to head back and explore when I have more time.

I want to get a helmet cam so I can get more pics without having to stop. One I want comes with a handlebar remote.

Currently it is too much of a hassle to stop and take pics by the time I stop. Get gloves off and phone or camera. Then put it all back on again.

One of my ideas at the start of this thread was to take in moments like this more bit it is not always practicle.

I do want to go back to the lookout at a different time of day with my good camera. Sun was in the wrong position this afternoon.

The princess Lilly is one of my darlings favourites @Adge . She has a lovely array of different flowers which is good because gardening is something that used to bring her joy by fell away during and post crisis.

She started again when we moved house. Something she was going to do with her mum but now does in memory of her mum.
