Brother I feel you, building and riding my atlas saved my life.

How about this for a conversation: people are already talking too much about "mental health". This pathologises genuine, endemic problems in society, and prevents social, political and economic solutions being sought and reached. Guy's not happy, and so let's make that a form of victimhood instead of forming new political parties or creative new solutions to genuine problems. If someone isn't happy, there is usually a valid reason, and it isn't always because they're defective and need a doctor.

Maaate, great video. I have ridden for around 50 years, been in a couple of clubs. I went through some life changing shit a few years ago & to my utter surprise & disappointment my so called riding brothers, when I let them I know I was struggling, basically told me to piss off. I still ride, totally alone these days. Unfortunately I discovered the so called brotherhood is only for some. Shiny side towards the sky.
