Mental Health has always got my attention. I spend a good deal of my private life talking to blokes and a good deal of my professional life teaching people to talk to blokes. No one in this universe deserves to feel like ****e all the time, being buried in a quagmire of addiction - work, alcohol, drugs, sex, motorcycles - they are all methods of distracting ourselves. Most of my riding in the past 10 or so years has been with "Psychs on Bikes" (Mental Health Professionals who ride bikes) doing Men's Health stuff. I try to make men laugh at themselves .... to look at the futility of worry and the spiral of self loathing ..... there is happiness out there, it just has to be grabbed - sometimes by the throat.
Oh, and before anyone sees the parody of Psychs on Bikes and mentions Dykes on Bikes ...... I rode to Alice Springs a couple of years ago with the girls .... great company, good to be around ... I was made an honorary Lesbian because we all had the same tastes. And its not me on the patch - its Sigmund Freud.
Picture is a Reception given by the Beautiful Governor of Tasmania, The Honorable Kate Warner ..... She did ask if I really was a Grumpy Old Biker Bastard .... but I had to tell her that the patch was brought by my daughters .... I think my wife was involved. I was so impressed with Government House in Hobart that I took a selfie on the Toilet.
Just Hav'in fun .... all the time
