I like motorbikes and I can't help it

Even in Buddhism, there are expressions such as rolling the Dharma wheel, driving with a sense of thought, or riding a Dharma boat = surrendering oneself to the flow of the Dharma River, so I'm riding on ❝ something ❞. So we are riders too.
You are riding not only motorbikes, but also a vehicle called the world, this vehicle called mind and body, and a vehicle called circumstances. It is important to ride a motorcycle well even due to economic circumstances.
When I was a student, I was obsessed with guitars and collected many, but after all, there is one that is the best one. If you don't play well, you won't be able to play it.
I think there is one motorbike that you are most used to riding and can ride with peace of mind.
It also takes up space, maintenance costs, and maintenance time, so I think it would be nice if we could decide on this one car and spare.
Even after collecting everything, I realized that what was even more important was the way to perform.
Is it a motorbike driving technique?
The stability of the equipment is also important, and what is even more important is the stability of the technique.
I thought what was even more important was the heart.
heart.
If this side, mind, and self are stable, we can adapt flexibly to external circumstances and change freely according to the situation.
I notice that the mind is Zen, the correct state of mind, and that if it can be maintained, customized, and adjusted through fine adjustments, it is useful enough in the true sense of the word, and that only one's own drive is important.
I think it's about becoming aware of the importance of relying on, handling, and manipulating one's own mind rather than relying on things.
By doing so, I think it will open your eyes to the fact that there was another thing other than motorbikes that you really enjoyed through motorcycles.
Instead of riding a motorcycle, I think it's a good idea to cherish the “something” you experience through a motorcycle.

I like motorbikes too ♪

However, I didn't have enough financial resources to collect them, and I spent 8 years after getting married to buy them. My wife said, “Eh, are you stupid when you get old?” It was said coldly, and furthermore, they were stabbed in the nail saying “definitely if you put a child on it, it will be red” (^^;;

Since then, for 7 years, I have been enjoying leisurely touring to enjoy the scenery of the mountains in neighboring prefectures. Monks and temples do a lot of legal work on Saturdays, Sundays, and holidays, so I mainly go out on weekdays, so it's easy lol

I also sometimes get distracted by things other than my current favorite car (250cc domestic car), but as is the case with cars (1300cc domestic car = 15 years), people who stay in a relationship with one thing for a long time suit their sex, so I want to keep making more memories with my current car.

Excuse me, but I think the fact that you haven't lost interest in new car models in your 60s has a youthful sensibility. However, of course, in terms of economy, we recommend a relationship with a car you can keep up with for a long time after taking into account multifaceted considerations such as the understanding of your family.

There is no end to excessive obsession and greed. For example, even if a child is asked to buy a new toy, they can keep obsessing about it for at most for a week, and they will ask for a new toy again. people, men in particular, are creatures that don't change that much even when they become adults lol

Even if it's a thing, I would like you to cherish the relationships that exist there.

Even in middle age, motorbikes and motorcycles were my hobbies. I'm envious.
When I was in my 20s during the bubble period, I also owned multiple road sports, off-road, and Hara Chari scooters with a small displacement.
However, since I had a major accident on the verge of amputating my right ankle a few years ago, I have only used Hara Chari for legal purposes due to opposition from my family.
My son is also going to be a high school student, so I'm thinking about resuming my motorcycle lifestyle with a small displacement soon.
It is said, “I want motorbikes one after another,” but what is a motorcycle for Mr. Sako? Does it satisfy the desire for ownership?
Do you remember when you first rode a big motorcycle and ran over 200-300 km a day?
As symbolized by HONDA's wingmark, motorcycles are wings that expand one's horizons. It's a perfect plaything that shows you a completely different world from cars.
What type of motorcycle does Mr. Salmon like the most, road sports? American? off car?
Even luxury cars are fine, so I think it would be best to have one of them first, stick to the fun of driving, and enjoy doing small modifications, etc. I don't even think of it as a skipper in terms of age!
If you focus only on greed and desire for ownership, the original pleasure of “running” a motorcycle will diminish.
Also, why don't you go touring and looking for a different place than usual?
Please spread the great wings of Mr. Salmon and enjoy various worlds in the future.

Ahhh, I want to ride after all!

　Mr. Salmon. I'm so envious of this hobby of motorcycling. Now, the “me too” family is popular, where dads of the baby boomer generation don't retire from the company, are treated as intruders by their families, have nowhere to go, and follow their wife and daughter's shopping. But they only complain, so they're a nuisance here too. Dad is at a loss with nowhere to go after all. “Please have a hobby.” “Please go to the ○○ classroom.” It is called clean-up.
The father of the world! Have a hobby you can fall in love with, like Mr. Sako. Or revive a hobby you used to do when you were young. I can only do it now that I have retired. But be careful not to spend too much money. Let's find common friends. You're not alone. With this, you can live your whole life. You've never been so happy, right?

Mr. Sakeo
My name is Tetsuya Urakami from Nagomi-an.
Thank you for your support.

So... I understand, I really understand that feeling of liking motorbikes.
I also own one, but sometimes I don't have a car, so it's a very practical model.

But all the time, I check new models by looking at the Honda, Yamaha, and Suzuki websites, compare performance, and read reviews.

But I haven't gone through with additional purchases, and Sakeo is unstoppable. It probably means that a motorbike lover's energy is different from mine, but I also feel a bit addicted to it.

It's still good for what you buy with the money you have, but even using a card loan is a bit of a thought. If you have a card and end up using it, how about taking realistic measures such as canceling the card, setting an amount limit, and then leaving it with your family?

Please take good care of your current car, and be sure to stop by when touring in the Yokohama area.

This is Kawaguchi Hidetoshi. This is my humble answer to the question.

Motorbikes are a hobby, and of course, I think an appropriate hobby can help relieve stress and change your mood, so I think it's really good.

However, they seem to be in trouble because their desire for motorbikes cannot be suppressed easily...

I think this can be thought of as “unrequited hardship” (gufftoku) suffering of not being satisfied whether one asks for it or not being satisfied.

Regarding “unrequited hardship,” we have also dealt with it in the answers to the following questions.

The question “Do you have pain when you're too happy?”
http://hasunoha.jp/questions/87

As an approach to “unrequited hardship,” of course, it is important to treat anguish as the cause and ignorance (fundamental ignorance) that holds back deep within the affliction.

When it comes to why we are not satisfied even when we ask for it, we don't know the essence of things and things, and for that reason, it can be thought that it is caused by captivity (obsession) as if there is an entity that satisfies us about that thing or thing.

Therefore, it is necessary to deal with feelings that are trapped by such entities and cause obsession, and as mentioned in the answers to the above questions, it is up to us to advance the understanding of “sky and luck” in Buddhism.

This is extremely difficult to understand, so if you are interested in Buddhism and are continuing your studies, I hope you will eventually work towards understanding it.

Anyway, as a way to deal with various addictions, I think it's a good idea to set rules for “self-control,” just as there is something called a “precepts” in Buddhism so that you can keep them firm. Also, if stress or mental problems seem to abstain as the cause of dependency, I think it will be necessary to deal with them as well.
