Found this in a bike magazine:
"Speed, it seems to me, provides the one genuinely modern pleasure." Aldous Huxley, author of Brave New World and a man who , 50 years ago, experimented with LSD and mescaline and still found that going fast in a car or motorcycle gave a better rush....and he wasn't talking about amphetamines either...
But it's good to hear you're cleaning up.
