Tuesday Afternoon, looking for my "Dream Job"

Spent this morning getting a little exercise walking around the nieghbourhood. I'm guessing like many who are not working right now have noticed that their pants or outfits might not be as comfortable as they were while they were working.
How does riding a motorcycle help with this problem some may ask? Well, before moving North to Seattle, while still living in the California desert a friend told me that riding his motorcycle kept him a little better in shape. Wait! Like you, I was skeptical. Like what did he wear one of those funny "as seen on TV tummy belts" or something?
When I scoffed at his statement, he defended himself by stating these facts. First, his, wasn't casual rides or road trip. He was a motorcycle courier in the greater Los Angeles area. This meant that for over 6 hours for sure, he was on his motorcycle. Not to mention the "Sight-seeing" or "Road-Mapping" (these terms I use to mean that when you're on a motorcycle and you see a good set of twisties or sign that says "Scenic Route", you almost always have to take it.)diversions he might have called a BREAK.
Second, he pointed to the fact that on his particular motorcycle, the posture that the body has to be held at, means that likely your abdominal muscles will be getting some type of regular use outside the normal straight seated position. To add to this, when riding a motorcycle daily for hours at a time, inadvertently, through the turns, stops, starting in motion when completely stopped and possibly stunts... you will be working your stomach muscles.
Third, and remember this was his defense to my skepticism. Finally while riding a motorcycle, you generally enjoy it so much that stopping to eat often was a waste of time. If you think about it, wearing a full faced helmet, having to pull it off, stuff your face (while working), put it back on then ride. Yeah, totally inconvenient. So he claimed that motorcycling helps you keep the gut in.
He made some good reasoning points. If you're a regular Joe just riding for pleasure, maybe commuting back and forth to school, work, etc. I didn't think this would do what he claimed.
OK now. When I finally bought a motorcycle, which was after this conversation, I started riding it 45 mins one way back and forth from the High Desert of Yucca Valley to Palm Springs. On the motorcycle the commute was entirely enjoyable! Except maybe when you recognize on those really windy days (more often than not) you're wearing out the sides of you tyres ( figured I stick with the British/Canadian spelling ) because you ride at an angle opposed to the wind. Sometimes pretty far!
Along with the joys of riding to work, guess what happened after about 3 months of this routine. Those pants that had got a little, OK! Maybe alot tight after marriage, seemed to fit like they used too.
So, up until now, I didn't spread this around because, well hey, I didn't believe it. Yet maybe Favian was right. After all, in his younger days he was pretty thin.
