Motorcycle is Good for the Health, Study Says

​Riding a motorcycle can give you this unique feeling of freedom. When you hit the road, the wind starts to hit your face, and the feeling of weightlessness and inner peace will make you feel good. The motorcycle ride will not only make you feel good; it is good for our health.

What’s the Study All About
Harley Davidson, one of the most famous motorcycle manufacturers, had funded research regarding the benefits of riding a bike. Together with UCLA’s Semel Institute for Neuroscience and Human Behavior, they have made a study to more than 50 experienced motorcycle riders to know how a motorcycle ride affects the human brain.

What the Researchers have Found
Each participant was linked to a mobile electroencephalogram or EEG. It is a type of shower cap-like gadget that is covered in electrodes which can detect the electrical activity of the brain. The participant’s brain hormone and activity were monitored before they ride while riding, and after the ride while resting to build the comparables.

Researchers have found that a motorcycle ride decreases the rider’s stress level (28% loss in stress biomarkers), and slightly increased the beat of the heart by 11% for a 20-minute ride, as well as the levels of adrenaline along with their alertness and focus.

Things to Remember Before Riding
While riding a motorcycle could be good for our health, it is essential to consider our safety on the road. Checking your bike before riding is advisable to avoid accidents. It is also wise to run on moderate speed and follow all the road signs.

Motorcycle insurance is the best way to protect yourself against any loss once you have encountered an accident on the road. Insurance can cover your medical bills, as well as the expenses of the injuries that you have incurred to others. 

The insurance can also help you with the motorcycle’s repair expenses as well as the expenses for the other person's vehicle or property that you have damaged due to the accident. You may also get a replacement or the actual cash value of the bike if it gets totaled.

The next time you feel stressed or tired, all you need is to hit the road on a motorcycle and get a dose of its benefits that can make you feel a lot better.
