Bikes - destressing?

[m1spw]

Do you/would you ever use you bike as a destressing tool?

I've found over the past few days that when I'm annoyed/pissed off I can go out on my bike and after a few minutes I'm fine as I'm concentrating on the bike and nothing else matters. And that feeling when you know you've just taken a corner perfectly. I love it.

I'm just thinking that being annoyed or pissed off with someone is going to cloud my vision and make me take more risks, and probably end up injuring me/ kiling myself. which it does actually, so I want to know if its just me?

Using it to de-stress is fine, just keep away if you are angry.

I don't normally drive or ride if I'm angry/annoyed/very stressed. Luckily thats not very often, I'm generally quite chilled out.

If you're stressed/pissed-off try a push bike. It does you good to burn the temper off and is less dangerous for others You do feel lifted after, trust me.

I suppose it does destress me when i pissed off but i tend to give it a right good hooning and take my temper out on it.

Thankfully i dont get that annoyed often!

But the problem is you do it off road where as I'm doing it on the road...where its a lot more dangerous (no offence). I found a mint road for cornering last night next to my mums office - ended up going up and down it 3 times till i realised I was being watched by a security guard . And my bikes going into the garage on Sat and I don't know when I'll get it back

Used to do it in the Elises/340R a lot but stopped. When I was pissed off I used to focus on the driving and end up at 100% of my ability (not blowing my own trumpet too much but that's some serious driving). Trouble is, when you're driving at 100% you're not leaving any percentage for error which, on the roads, tends to be needed.

Really? i thought you just used a field near your house or something? Or have I missed something?

Sorry, my brain isn't working atm, I have too much too think about and its bloody cold outside (just come back from a 45 minute petrol fill up - fill up took about 3 minutes )
