Do you feel a motorcycle is good for PTSD?

I just bought and customized my cruiser. It takes my mind off things. I can ride to work and not think about work and things that happened in the past.  Driving my truck or riding the bus frees my mind too much.

Everything I hate about driving my truck is less painful (stopping for petrol, parking, etc).

Hey "Anonymous", try being a War Veteran like me. Ever notice those "Veteran" plates on all those cruisers ridden by men in leather jackets?  Almost every last one of my Veteran friends ride cruisers.

some guys go fishing. Others ride a motorcycle . If it works for you then do it.

it is because while your riding your bike all your thinking about is riding.
Go for a ride across the country pub to pub 
good luck may your hang overs be small ones.

It is a good way to concentrate on one thing and to avoid thinking about others.

Riding is good for a lot of things - mostly because it is enjoyable and to survive you have to be attentive at levels most people driving never attain. However, there are times when the dailyshit pushes the attentiveness out of the way, learning to recognize that you are not on your game is essential - snap out of it or turn around. Tell tale signs, blinkers not canceled, misstep at a stop, missing a turn because you were day dreaming or stewing about something.....

I am glad motorcycling is soothing but you can't ride all the time. PTSD needs to be cured not dulled.  Don't trifle with mental problems.
