Your 100% right, when I get on my Harley I'm in the moment, I'm free from negativity and the one thing I never think of is the what if, I ride within my limits so I can enjoy the freedem.
This is so great! Can you imagine how important this is, not only regarding motorcycling but in general life. Like the comment you said "don't think of the fears, think of you will having a laugh and have fun, and then it will happen". Having seing my mom lost joys in life and tends so the negatives all over. It seems NOTHING if positive most of the times. And whenever I suggest some nice things to do she always complains about the bad weather, the bad timing, how long time it will take and you name it, really silly. How about focusing about the positive things and the problems will solve itself along the way, as they always do. Might be too old to change her mind. But I live and embraces your message and hope that when I get old I will be far from dead.
When I'm riding I'm looking for trouble, not to get caught up in it, but rather avoid and/or go beyond it. This approach has saved my bacon on numerous occasions. Finding a healthy balance between fear and complacency is the key that works for me.
My first exposure to topic was a book “The Inner Game of Tennis” by Timothy Gallwey published in 1974. The book was about calming you mind while playing tennis. But it applies to just about everything you do. Be present in the moment and eliminate negativity. Great video by the way!
Debunked it successfully, exposed the lies and false claims, Aymen. You have hit the nail on the head. Thank you for another top-notch TH-cam video. Taken on board your tips. Cheers, Tone 👍🏽🤙🍻🇦🇺✊️😁
I had my bad fall back in 1986 when I was 19, I survived that with internal injuries but no broken bones as I was super fit and healthy. I NEVER ride without full protective gear as most falls are simple slides due to a number of reasons (sand/oil/wet slippery paint etc) and these usually just hurt a bit, or a lot depending on what you are wearing. I opt of just a bit or no pain, your bike and gear is all simple to replace mostly covered by Insurance, your body is a different story! So gear up, look around and stay alert and just enjoy the ride! There is no better feeling whilst travelling than being on a bike you love.
I'm a wingsuit skydiving HD and Honda riding guy. My friend and mentor Brian Germain, wrote a book called transcending fear, excellent read wish he would make it an audable. LSS, his view which I agree with 100% fear in unqualified risk. Understand the risk mitigate the risk and enjoy the ride! The part i need to work on as someone with light depression, to focus on the positive outcome not negative of things that may be! Be well be safe be amazing
This Ted Talk was proudly presented by Old Not Dead. 😁 Solid advice mate. It's all about perspective. That's why my non riding family (mum, sister, niece, and nephews) were so upset when, after 4 days in hospital following a crash, I couldn't wait to get back on the bike, broken toe, bruised lung, and broken ribs be damned. Being dosed up to the eyeballs on opiates, and my inability to lift my right arm is all that kept me off it. All my family wanted was for me to sell my bike, and get back in a car. Glad I didn't cave, and I couldn't be happier now I'm back out on 2 wheels.
Hi Aymen 👋🏽 You're 💯% on the money. The only way to ride and thrive, is to have no fear, ride with the elements! Yes, speed can kill, so ride to what you're capable of, common bike skills and common sense... ✌🏽😎 #OND ☠️
I've been riding motorcycles all my life, I've always stuck with my old man's rule which is,the local cemetery is full of great riders and car drivers.
Yes, if I concentrate on 'speeding kills', I'll end up riding within or close to a group of slow-moving cars, even if the group is travelling at the speed limit, and if something goes pair-shaped with one of those cars (like on a winding mountain road), guess who is going to come off worse in a collision? The folks in the car or the rider? And then, if I stay on the speed limit and am being overtaken by car after car after car and bike after bike after car after car, then how safe will I feel when that vehicle overtaking me runs out of space and decides it's better to cut me off than hitting an oncoming vehicle.
Hi from UK yep two big ways of controlling people fear and guilt our government uses both rode since the 70s still love it now on a harley street bob I find it perfect for UK touring I spanner myself and ride every chance I can every ride a smile in a depressed country or so it feels you keep vlogs comeing and a great Christmas to you and your family me if forecast stays the same Christmas ride on the cards stay safe
I've always wondered if driving on different sides of the road matters more in corners? In America we ride on the opposite side than you blokes down there.
Been riding since I was 8 years old on a Honda Amigo 50 and now I’m over 60 on a real man’s bike i.e. Black Road Glide.. I’ve had a couple of crashes over the years and all but one was my fault.. riding like an idiot in the either the wrong place and bad conditions.. I like to think I’m older and wiser and a better rider for it now 👌
driving and riding skills are taught, not learned. Learning is accomplishing basics. Teaching is learning how to make a basic skill into a better successful one. Learning on your own will only give a person bad riding and driving habits, not better ones.

That should be the pinned post
Great Talk and Even Better Thoughts!..Well Done!...Very Inspirational.
My first exposure to topic was a book “The Inner Game of Tennis” by Timothy Gallwey published in 1974. The book was about calming you mind while playing tennis. But it applies to just about everything you do. Be present in the moment and eliminate negativity. Great video by the way!
Appreciate it! 👍 i remember that book i think i read it in the 90's
Well, I’m much older.
Great book! I played some of my best tennis after reading that.
Great point made and great book.
Debunked it successfully, exposed the lies and false claims, Aymen. You have hit the nail on the head. Thank you for another top-notch TH-cam video. Taken on board your tips. Cheers, Tone 👍🏽🤙🍻🇦🇺✊️😁
Very well said Aymen. Thank you for the mid-week post.
I saw this post and thought...
It's Sunday... 😎👍
Thanks for a mid-week post...

Just started watching your Chanel , think it’s great , well done Aymen! Cheers Chris
I found a great safety device is my Rader Detector. Now I never have to take my eyes off the road to check my speed.
Hi Aymen 👋🏽
You're 💯% on the money. The only way to ride and thrive, is to have no fear, ride with the elements! Yes, speed can kill, so ride to what you're capable of, common bike skills and common sense...

Thanks again Annie
It's got to be stated, "Life is like a trip on a Greyhound bus, it's got to be the going not just the gettin there that counts.
Focus on the solution, not the problem 👍👍
spot on
I love life metaphores. Thanks for a great start to my day.
Your best video so far. You nailed it Aymen.
Appreciate it!
I've been riding motorcycles all my life, I've always stuck with my old man's rule which is,the local cemetery is full of great riders and car drivers.
Some good lessons in there, Aymen . Keep up the good work!
Crash bars.
If I thought I needed them, I'd take the truck.
Damn. You got me excited until I realized a road glide won't fall from the sky 😢
Oh, forgot. What is the song in the end? some great tune that.
THIS is the difference between great riders and average riders. Thank you!
Top message Aymen..This is exactly how we create our projected reality in this Morphic-Realm - Shakka Mate

A, question, ur opinion on the S-glide vs Roadglide??
I'm 6"2 and trying to make up mind for next??
Great advice & tips as always. Cheers 🍻
Eamon do you sell a tattoo trace of the logo?
Cheers
So if the Harley is not going to fall from the sky, will it morph from the road?
Stay in the moment and pay attention helps
Spot on Aymen
Thanks

Don’t plan on crashing, i ride too fast whenever i can and cars are just as dangerous.
I teach New riders - yep Cars are a Pain - its Other MoBikes are your biggest Worry..
That gets them Focused !!!
Good advice!!!!
driving and riding skills are taught, not learned. Learning is accomplishing basics. Teaching is learning how to make a basic skill into a better successful one. Learning on your own will only give a person bad riding and driving habits, not better ones.
I don’t dress to crash I just ride
Come unstuck, all the positivity in the world won't help if you don't wear the right gear which is the message of the adverts. Dress for the slide, not the ride.
So true
Awesome video mate! Couldn’t agree more
