Looks like you had an interesting ride and some wise words at the end of your post.
By the way, I see you're new, so I'd like to let you know we have different communities on Hive. Yesterday I put together a newbie guide on communities, to help newbies. Please have a look.
We have two Motorbike communities on Hive, unfortunately there's not much activity right now in them, but I still encourage you to check them out, meet the other bikers we have on the platform.
Anyway, happy riding and stay safe :)
