************************************

Things my Motorcycle has taught me over the Years, eh!

* People ask us why I ride a motorcycle. For those who have experienced the joy,

No explanation is necessary; for those who have not, no explanation is possible.

* The only good view of a thunderstorm is in your rear view mirror.

* Four wheels move the body; two wheels move the soul.

* Most motorcycle problems are usually caused by the Nut that connects the

handlebars to his saddle.

* Life may begin at 40, but it doesn't get real interesting until about 80mph!

* You start the game of life with a full pot of luck and an empty pot of experience!

* The object is to fill the pot of experience before you empty the pot of luck.

* If you wait, all that will happen is that you get older.

* Bugs at midnight taste just as bad, as noon time bugs.

* 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 gas 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.

* A bike on the road is worth two in the shed.

* Respect the person who has seen the dark side of motorcycling and lived, and still rides.

* Young riders pick a destination and go; Old riders pick a direction and go!

* A good mechanic will let you watch, without charging you for it.

* Sometimes the fastest way to get there is to stop for the night.

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

* There are drunken riders and there are old riders, but there are not many old drunk riders.

* Ride to work. Work to ride..

* Two-lane blacktop isn't a highway - it's an attitude.

* When you look down the road, it seems to never end; but you better believe it does!

* Winter is nature's way of telling you to test the electric's and install new tires

* Keep your bike in good repair; Motorcycle boots are not all that comfortable for walking.

* People are like motorcycles; each is customized a bit differently.

* Sometimes, the best communication happens when you're on separate bikes.

* When you're riding lead, don't spit.

* A friend is someone who'll get out of bed at 2 am, to drive his truck to the middle of nowhere

to pick you up when you breakdown.

* Catching a Bee in your shirt at 70 mph can double your vocabulary.

* Catching a Hornet in your helmet will help triple that special vocabulary.

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

* Everyone crashes, some get back on, some don't, and some can't ;-(

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

* If you ride like there's no tomorrow, today will be a BLAST!

* The best modifications cannot be seen from the outside...

* Always replace the cheapest parts first.

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

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

* Keep the shinny side up and the rubber side down again for 2011!

 Remember you meet the nicest people on a motorcycle,

No matter where in the world you travel!
