Or the style of hair, cloths, or if they smoke or not. Good people come in all sizes, shapes, colors, and personal choices. As do bad people. Remember the old saying about people who live in glass houses. Just my opinion

Very well said. I agree.

I have no tattoos, but my 25 year old son has a couple tats, they're beautiful works of art, but not enough that I want them under my skin.

For me, If I had the money to get a few nice tats, I'd get a Harley bagger instead.

I got my first one at the ripe old age of 18..coming home from a 2 week machine gunners course.
It was the only one I had up until about 5 years ago.
How the rest came about is a long story.

Most tattoo's represent something very significant in the persons life or something they are passionate about. I know mine do.
I had this done last week.
I was diagnosed with PTSD in 2002 thanks to my job...
Like the saying goes, it's been a long road and most of it wasn't paved.
It's the reason I got into riding..many of my coworkers told me how therapeutic it is.
They were right..16 years and I'm "still unbroken".
It's why I never judge people with ink..you never know what scars they are covering up.

Do you find riding helps you?

Absolutely it helps. However, when I'm not feeling well, I don't feel like riding, or anything else, but once I get on the bike and take off, I wonder why I didn't get on earlier.

exactly.. I'm the same with that, taking my IROC out..just about everything.
Especially exercise which really helps..
I bought a "hybrid" 21 speed a couple of weeks ago and riding that is awesome..
unfortunately the weather isn't cooperating.

Exercise, yes, that always makes me feel better. I think the more it hurts as I'm running the more it distracts my mind from other things.
