Schizophrenia and motorcycles don't mix lol

I rode passenger on a bike for the first time last week. It was really fun in a way, i get why people get bikes, but also terrifying cause i always had “ur going to fall off” going on in my mind. Maybe it was because i was passenger and didn’t have any control and was just hanging on cause the thought also hit me that it would probably be more fun actually driving the thing. Or maybe its just me and motorcycles don’t mix. Idk

nope, too dangerous for me :frowning:

I rather be the one who is riding the bike then being the passenger, I need to be in control for me to feel safe. I always thought Ninjas look cool… but yeah

Yeah I’m the same way I don’t like riding on one cause I’m not in control. I never give anyone rides on my bike though I just ride alone.

I have my bike, you know-but I don’t ride as much as before I was diagnosed. You have to be strong and sharp on a bike.

Having trouble driving cars now in very crowded rush hour
because more cars give me that strange feeling.

They are going out of their way to crash into me.
Motorcycles! too scary to even think about.

I’ve had my close calls at MANY intersections. Some people would run a stop sign because they didn’t see me and I almost got taken out. I’ve had people turn right into my lane and I had to ride the brakes out…all sorts of things. But a motorcycle is all risk in many ways, but also alot of fun.

Just because you may be riding a four wheeler doesn’t mean you’re any safer. Four and three wheeled motorcycles can be even MORE dangerous than two wheeled ones.

My mom is a nurse, and she calls them donorcycles. Apparently, motorcycle accidents are the most common source of donor organs.

I can tell how well I’m doing on my meds just by riding my motorcycle. When my paranoia is up I’m always nervous about getting hit. I feel out of control,same way on ladders.

First bike I owned I stood it up the first day, come down leaning to much to the right and tried to bury my head in the cement, Cement rejected my head, was horrid trying to kick start it with my head split wide open, but made it to the hospital LOL
