Motorcycling offers more than escape—it provides a path to mindfulness and purpose through our interactions with others on the road. George Bernard Shaw's century-old wisdom about living for something greater than ourselves perfectly captures the spirit of what it means to ride with intention and community consciousness.
A simple wave or nod to a driver who makes a mistake can transform how all motorcyclists are perceived. Kind interactions with drivers may make them more likely to watch for and respect motorcyclists in the future. The Distinguished Gentleman's Ride exemplifies how our passion for motorcycling can support important causes. Shaw's quote reminds us not to be "a feverish, selfish little clod of ailments and grievances" but to live with purpose. Motorcycling forces us to be present, letting everyday grievances fade away. The community of motorcycling creates a brotherhood/sisterhood united by our love of riding. Like the song "This Little Light of Mine," we're called to shine brightly and make a difference through our riding
