If You Could Turn Back Time
- Thread starter ToSlow
- Start date
Good question.
From a motorcycle perspective (I know you probably meant more broadly) I think I'd like to go back to the first time I learned to ride a bike at the Humber course. Something clicked in me that day. And it did for my wife too, which made it even more special.
It was like I had found what I really wanted to do for as long as I could keep doing it.
And I did!
That weekend was so much fun. It's part of the reason I got into instructing. When you ride for a long time, you slowly forget that feeling of giddiness and euphoria when you first learn to ride. Sure you get a little bit of it when you hop back on the saddle for the 100,031st time, but it's not *exactly* the same as the first time...
Now I get that feeling every time I teach, when I see the excitement and joy on my students faces. It's like second-hand excitement.
And then I yell at them to pick up their feet...

Oh we're doing "go back to change all the dumb sh!t you did in the past?!?!"
I thought it was just reliving memories?
ofuk, where do I even begin? Does this magic time travel device have enough juice for all those trips?
When did Apple stock IPO again...?

I'd go back have a long hard talk with myself about my choice of careers, and all the unforeseen realities of it that were not only not evident at the time during that honeymoon phase, but about all the unforseen changes that have changed it so much.
It has, and continues to be very good to me, mainly because of the company that I fell into ~24 years ago, but I think I'd still have gone another way.
At least it wasn't a bathroom zipper incident. I think I'd take the sprocket.
I’d go back to high school and pay attention .
Dad bought me a QAfifty Honda when I was seven , it started a lifelong passion/problem . My best friend in high school graduated to a machine shop job , and bought a Goldwing eleven hundred , I went from a Honda one eighty five enduro that got me my license to using his Goldwing when he worked shifts .

Step 2, give all your GTAM friends 10m dollars each, we all retire to mansions with a 10 car garage full of motorcycles, and we all live happily ever after. And you still have eleventy billion dollars in the bank lol.
This is a common philosophical discussion about the "road not taken". Who and where you are now is a direct product of all the victories and failures, the brilliant decisions and the dumbazzz ones, the laughters *and* the tears.
Sure, you could be a better person without all the negative decisions and resulting memories. You'd have more money, less regrets.
But it could also be worse. Any one of the "roads not taken" could have led you down a darker path, regardless of what wrong you think you have righted. Buying Apple at $22 might have left you dead of a cocaine overdose the next year because... hookers and blow, y'know?
Never mind that previous post.
Have fun back then! Can't wait till you get back!!!
Nah, I binge-watched all the Butterfly Effect movies last night!
Moral of the story - don't change anything. It never ends well!
