Throttle Therapy is a term that I discovered while doing the research for my Graduate Studies Thesis a few years back titled 'Understanding Motorcycle Tourism Through A Study of Biker Culture'.
There is much research available about the mental health benefits and the healing and therapeutic aspects of riding a motorcycle. I've discovered that Motorcycling is itself a form of meditation. The need to stay in-tune with the bike and your environment clears the mind and focuses thoughts. It is a form of discipline that allows a person to be calm and live purely in the moment. It is just you, the bike and the road.
Your senses are alive. You see, smell and hear everything. You feel the sun and the wind on your face and body.
One of my favourite and funny quotes is "Throttle Therapy is the term for time spent on a motorized bike with the intent to enjoy feelings of euphoria that may exceed the capabilities of prescription or illegal drugs." Pretty cool, don't you think...
Throttle Therapy... just one more reason in a long list of reasons why you should ride a motorcycle.
