MOTORCYCLE WISDOM

MOTORCYCLE WISDOM:

Four wheels move the body. Two wheels move the soul.

Most motorcycle problems are caused by the nut that connects the handlebars to the saddle.

Life may begin at 30, but it doesn't get real interesting until about 80 mph!

You start the game of life with a full pot o' luck and an empty pot o'experience. The object is to fill the pot of experience before you empty the pot of luck. If you wait, all that happens is that you get older.

Saddlebags can never hold everything you want, but they can hold everything you need.

Don't ride so late into the night that you sleep through the sunrise.

Sometimes it takes a whole tank full of fuel before you can think straight.

Never hesitate to ride past the last street light at the edge of town.

Never do less than forty miles before breakfast.

If you don't ride in the rain, you don't ride.

One bike on the road is worth two in the shed.

Respect the person who has seen the dark side of motorcycling and lived.

Young riders pick a destination and go. Old riders pick a direction and go.

Always back your bike into the curb, and sit where you can see it.

Work to ride & ride to work.

Whatever it is, it's better in the wind.

Winter is Nature's way of telling you to maintain and repair.

Good coffee should be indistinguishable from 50 weight motor oil.

A friend is someone who'll get out of bed at 2 am to drive his pickup to the middle of nowhere to get you when you're broken down.

There's something ugly about a NEW bike on a trailer.

Don't lead the pack if you don't know where you're going.

Practice wrenching on your own bike, first.

Everyone crashes. Some get back on. Some don't......Some can't.

Don't argue with an 18-wheeler.

A good long ride can clear your mind, restore your faith, and use up a lot of fuel.

If you can't get it going with bungee cords and duct tape, it's serious.

Thin leather looks good in the bar, but it won't save your ass from road rash.

The best modifications cannot be seen from the outside.

You can forget what you do for a living when your knees are in the breeze.

Only a Biker knows why a dog sticks his head out of a car window.

There are two types of people in this world, people who ride motorcycles and people who wish they could ride motorcycles.

Gray-haired riders don't get that way from pure luck.

Grillin' on the River

Pretty Good Weekend overall.  Got some ride time.  Got to hang with my Uncle and ride with him and checked out the worst car and bike show ever.  Did meet a kool cat with a 72 XL and my buddy 8Ball rode in on his 'lil Rebel 450.
