Bike 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 thirty, but it doesn't get real interesting until about 160 kays!

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.

Midnight bugs taste best.

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

Never try to race an old geezer, he may have one more gear than you.

It takes more love to share the saddle than it does to share the bed.

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

Never be afraid to slow down.

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

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

Riding faster than everyone else only guarantees you'll ride alone.

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

Never do less than sixty kays before breakfast.

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

A 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 to 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.

Work to ride, and ride to work.

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

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 polish.

Keep your bike in good repair, motorcycle boots are not comfortable for walking.

People are like motorcycles, each is customized a bit differently.

Sometimes, the best communication happens when you are on separate bikes.

Good coffee should be indistinguishable from 50 weight motor oil.

The best alarm clock is sunshine on chrome.

The twisties - not the superslabs - separate the riders from the squids.

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

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

Catching a yellow jacket in your shirt at 120 kays can double your vocabulary.

If you want to get somewhere before sundown, you can't stop at every pub.

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

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

Practice wrenching on your own bike.

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

Don't argue with an 18 wheeler.

Never be ashamed to unlearn an old habit.

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 electrician's tape, it's serious.

If you ride like there's no tomorrow, there won't be.

Bikes parked out front mean good chicken-fried steak inside.

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

There are drunk riders. There are old riders. There are NO old, drunk riders.

Thin leather looks good in the bar, but it won't save your butt from "road rash" if you go down.

The best modifications cannot be seen from the outside.

Always replace the cheapest parts first.

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

Patience is the ability to keep your motor idling.

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

Keep the paint up, and the rubber down!

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

Never ride faster than your guardian angel can fly.

It is good to have an end to journey towards; but it is the journey that matters in the end.

Ride as if your life depended on it!! Because it DOES!!

Some good rules to live by in there.

Some in particular caught my interest...

Four wheels move the body. Two wheels move the soul.
So true... the bike is my passion in life, gives it meaning.

Saddlebags can never hold everything you want, but they CAN hold everything you need.
Yep! funny thing is that I travel REAL light and yet I still manage to come home from a trip with something unworn! Not bad for a chick eh?

It takes more love to share the saddle than it does to share the bed.
Reminds me of when the ex went for a skate on MY bike. He was late getting home... I was beginning to worry then his mate turns up alone... he sees the look on my face and says “don’t worry Jase is ok, just a bit sore”.
I was thinking “yeah whatever... is my BIKE OK?????????????”

The only good view of a thunderstorm is in your rearview mirror.
And if its in front of you then just grin and bear it!

Never be afraid to slow down.
And just hope that you’re not following too close... DOH!

Sometimes it takes a whole tankful of fuel before you can think straight.
HELL YEAH! Last weekend it took 3 tankfuls ... worth it though...

If you don't ride in the rain, you don't ride.
Once again...HELL YEAH! One of my most insanely enjoyable rides was in pouring rain...

A bike on the road is worth two in the shed.
Nuff said...

Young riders pick a destination and go...Old riders pick a direction to go.
I still pick a destination but take the long way round to get there LOL...

Work to ride, and ride to work.
Yep! and Yep!

Winter is nature's way of telling you to polish.
Nah bugger that... get out there and ride...LOL

Sometimes, the best communication happens when you are on separate bikes.
And if you are lucky enough to have a lover who also rides then its like foreplay...

The best alarm clock is sunshine on chrome.
An idling Buell does it for me LOL

If you want to get somewhere before sundown, you can't stop at every pub.
Yep! dark visor after sundown ain’t so great...

If you can't get it going with bungee cords and electrician's tape, it's serious.
So true! (eh AJ???)

You can forget what you do for a living when your knees are in the breeze.
I just forget about everything and concentrate on chasing the bike in front of me...smile on my face right now thinking about the weekend riding just done...:-)

and heres some more...

Everyone looks good riding a motorcycle, although for some, it requires a full-face helmet.

You don’t stop riding because you get old, you get old because you stop riding.

I’m not speeding,
I’m qualifying!

The older you get, the faster you were...

If you are in complete control, you are going too slow

Seen on a motorcycle’s rearviews:
“Warning: objects seen in mirror are disappearing rapidly”

Insisting on perfect safety is for people who don’t have the balls to live in the real world

Bikes don’t leak oil, they mark their territory!

A good rider has balance, judgment, and good timing. So does a good lover.
