Why a Faster Bike Won't Fix Your Midlife Crisis
« on: May 18, 2026, 05:35:36 PM »

A philosophical look at mid life crisis and motorcycling from Two Wheels In.

(not Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance"

"The midlife crisis is real. When it hits, a lot of older blokes reach for a bigger bike. But it's the wrong answer — for a reason almost nobody names.

A philosopher at MIT divides everything we do into two categories. One is the trap most of us are stuck in without knowing it. The other is the way out — and it has nothing to do with horsepower.

This isn't a video about which motorcycle to buy. It's a video about what motorcycles are for."

Interesting video.
I enjoy the ride, not necessarily the journey.
Almost away of producing your own dream time.
Nicely done.
Only ever ride my own ride, helps me to stay above ground!
