Hi, been disabled since 1996,i only have one arm and my left leg is a bit iffy, but it works ok....all the other bits work ok. (maybe my brain is a bit weird sometimes ) i am single and .i have always had a motorcycle which i ride every day  , i have a few motorcycles one of which is in my bedroom (which is probably why i am single ) ...i am now at an age where i understand the absurdity of life , i have no expectations and try to live it on a daily basis . .

    Living one day at a time can certainly help some people to live in the moment a bit more @outlaw666. Do you have any tips on how to live more in the moment?

    I enjoyed reading this and like the sense of humour.

    Yes it is great that you don't let being disabled get in the way of your passion. Who needs a partner when you have a great passion like that.

    I have a family member who loved bikes. He broke his leg in a motorcycle accident and continued to ride bikes with his leg in a cast.

    What bikes do you have?

    That’s a start anyway.

    I'm at an age when I recognise the interconnectedness of all life, quite amazing ?

    I dont really know, stop overthinking about things works for me,  not dwelling in the past. and realising there is no real  meaning  to our lives ...(its too hard a question for me i think , everybody's disability and pain and past is individual and so very  different,  and not for me to "give tips" . sorry.

    ooh i dont know, ...the passion is better with a partner holding onto you  and arms holding onto you as you ride down empty city streets, feeling every breath against your back and only thinking of how you are falling in love. ....i wish .
