Do you like motorcycling and art still? Go for a bike ride, or if you no longer have one make it a long-term goal to get one again. Perhaps settle for a regular bicycle if affording a motorcycle is out of the question for too long. A bit rusty on the art? Practice! Set a small goal of doing one basic sketch or low-detailed painting (I don't know what medium you use for an exact example). Maybe even try a medium you haven't tried yet.

A purpose is much more personal, so that one I think you need to ponder yourself.

I've not been here in a while so this is the first of your posts I've read, so apologies if I'm missing key details.
I've still got a motorbike. It's powerful and needs to be respected, and since I'm rusty, I'm just taking small trips around to get used to it again. The weather is bad at the moment though, so I'm only getting the odd day to drive before the rain starts up again.

As for art work, I'm a sculptor. I make figurines. I want to get into bronze casting, and I'm slowly saving up money for smelting gear for lost-wax process. The main issue that I have with my art work at the moment is that I can't see any point in spending potentially 50+ hours over several weeks making something that no one is going to see? What's the point of art if there's no one to appreciate it?
