  • Life and motorcycles-what really matters and how I fixed. After taking an extended leave from UA-cam and riding, I decided to share this very personal video about what I have been going through the last several months. My intent of this video is for someone to relate and ley you know that your not alone. Stress, life, work, family, death, anxiety can take its toll on you, but are you falling into a trap, or are you owning your happiness?
    Join me as I am back on my Harley Davidson Street Glide Special riding the beautiful roads of Tennessee talking about this personal subject.

    I am a long time subscriber to your channel. Saw you on ty from Tennessee's channel It was good to see you again. I wondered why you moved to Some of the best motorcycle riding in the country and no more videos. But now I understand why. Good luck in the future, give us a video when you can.
    Be careful, ride safe.

    Hey Colin, I've been so far removed from UA-cam that I had no clue you'd moved to TN. I understand what you've been going through, as I've been battling my own demons since my father passed away a couple years ago. My wife and I ended up selling our house and moving a few miles down the road to a larger house so my mom could move in with us. As soon as we got settled, I was responsible for getting her house fixed up, sold and getting her moved. All the stress of selling both houses, moving and consolidating two households, in addition to holding down a demanding job, about did me in. My father was my only true confidant, so when he died I lost my best friend and my therapist, lol. Life can seem overwhelming, but I'm always looking for the light at the end of the tunnel--even though it can appear pretty dim sometimes. Take care, buddy, and ride safe.

    • @Broncoride
      @Broncoride  3 місяці тому

      I was just thinking about you recently. I appreciate you telling your story. Stress will take its toll unless you manage it. That has really helped me. I’m so sorry about your Dad. You’re a good person my friend.

  • @thedustychronicles739

    Glad to see you back. Your video about Freedom Shields years ago got me interested in UA-cam.
    I can relate to a lot of what you talked about. Six years ago I decided to jump into UA-cam getting gear and such trying to learn the how to’s. Sadly my oldest son passed away of a heart attack at 42. I gave up on a lot after that. About a year ago I thought about getting back into it. Started the learning process again but then 8 months ago my youngest son passed away taking his own life at the age of 42.
    Unfortunately I’m back into not caring about much. Having been a lifelong rider, I don’t even have the desire to ride anymore. It’s not the escape it used to be for me.
    I get what you say that I’ve got to think and do more for me but I just can’t find my way through the fog.
    Anyway my friend, I’m glad you found your way.

    • @Broncoride
      @Broncoride  3 місяці тому +1

      It’s hard to find your way. Just ask yourself what drives you? This helped me a ton. My deepest condolences on your sons. Live your life knowing you’ll see them again. You’re a good man.

    Welcome back, for me I had to move away from watching UA-cam because it was causing me to be miserable and unfulfilled because of the FOMO. Seeing what others were doing, where they were going and I wasn't made me loose sight of what makes me happy and how content I was just being me. The mind is a battlefield. Volunteering, family, and real life friends are more important than internet communities. It was great thought the pandemic but afterwards, I found myself investing way too much time, effort, and compacity to internet communities and internet people at the expense of real face to face community.
    Thanks for sharing. Great thoughts.

I made my wife miserable and it too me a while to admit it. When you take responsibility and then take action things turn out fine. We moved back to Tennessee and I find myself much happier also. Family, friends and riding enjoyment makes me a happy fellow and I am glad to see you again. Heres to a better year. Be safe, have fun.
