Why we ride motorbikes: a midlife crisis solution!︱Cross Training Adventure

Ajouté le sam. 28 juin 2014 Sport Rectangular HD

This vid is getting old now but it's still fun! Why we ride motorbikes. Cruisers and Harleys vs dirt bikes, adventure bikes and trials bikes? This video explains how to age recklessly, remain emotionally immature and be a dirty old man but not get arrested. Above all it explains why we ride motorbikes, and why turning 50 is no excuse to wimp out of the adventure that is motorbike riding (apologies to cruiser and Harley Davidson riders, this vid is just having a dig at mates who ride those beasts!). So many riders say that it's about so much more than dirt riding - it's helped with depression, anxiety, life direction and midlife crisis. But what is it exactly? A midlife crisis is a transition of identity and self-confidence that can occur in middle-aged individuals, typically 45–64 years old and some reckon motorbike riding helps. It is described as a psychological crisis brought about by events that highlight a person's growing age, inevitable mortality, and possibly shortcomings of accomplishments in life unless you ride lol). Midlife crisis, can result in feelings of depression, remorse, and anxiety, or the desire to achieve youthfulness or make drastic changes to their current lifestyle. Who came up with the expression? What else? Cross Training Adventure actively avoids sponsorship. We like doing seriously critical reviews. Manufacturers make some really bad mistakes. and there is a lot of dodgy crap being sold out there. Instead of glowing dual sport reviews for kickbacks or free product, we will try to keep the bastards honest. So subscribe. Or don't subscribe to our Cross Training Adventure riding channel. The main thing is get out and ride while you can with dual sport riding or Adventure riding in Australia, Canada, Vietnam, Romania and beyond! So check out Cross Training Adventure. Welcome to Cross Training Adventure, we are into all things dual sport and adventure on the east coast of Australia... with occasional detours to places like Vietnam, Cambodia, Romania and Canada. This is one of our three channels, there's also a Cross Training Trials channel, and a Cross Training Enduro channel. All three are equally dodgy. We are the 27th most watched dirt channel in Uzbekistan. We have won the polished turd award five years in a row. And we have a world record 25 class action lawsuits for inaccurate information. We think the whole motorbike scene is getting too commercial. So called dual sport riding reviews are just glossy ads nowadays. The term midlife crisis was coined by Elliott Jaques in 1965. More modern research has shown midlife crisis is not a phase that most middle-aged people actually experience, and some have questioned the existence of this phenomenon but if you ride motorbikes it doesn't matter, hey? Everyone is trying to sell you stuff you don't need, convince you to buy the latest model with anodized coffee cup holders for your trips to the coffee shop. Of course if you are cashed up and into bling, go for it. All we are saying is there's also the budget option for adventure riding. And it won't hold you back. Why? We reckon it's 80% the rider and 20% the bike. So the Cross Training Adventure focus is just get out there and have fun on two wheels. Instead of obsessing over the latest blinged out Beemer, which tyres to fit or spending a fortune on your suspension or billet alloy gas cap. So most of our adventure ridingvids will feature the much loved bush pig, the Suzuki DR650. And we've done a 10 part series on how to unleash the mighty beast that lurks within.
