Sleeperhawks Mechanic Posted June 12, 2010 #1 Posted June 12, 2010 When you're riding lead, don't spit. Four wheels move the body. Two wheels move the soul. If you don't ride in the rain, you don't ride. Never sell a motorcycle - it is a part of you. Just buy more. Life may begin at 30, but it doesn't get real interesting until about 120 mph. 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 happens is that you get older. Saddlebags can never hold everything you want, but they CAN hold everything you need. The only good view of a thunderstorm is in my rear view mirror. Don't ride so late into the night that you sleep through the sunrise. Sometimes it takes a whole tank of fuel before I can think straight. In the time it takes to play 18 holes, I can be 500 miles away. Never hesitate to ride past the last street light at the edge of town. You will always get to keep your motorcycle in a divorce. Never do less than forty miles before breakfast. One bike on the road is worth two in the garage. Young riders pick a destination and go. Old riders pick a direction and go. Whatever it is, it's better to do it in the wind. Two-lane blacktop isn't a highway, it's an attitude. People are like motorcycles; each is customized a bit differently. The best alarm clock is sunshine on chrome. 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. Catching a yellow jacket in your shirt at 70 mph can double your vocabulary. There's something ugly about a NEW bike on a trailer. A long ride can clear my mind, restore my faith and use up a lot of fuel. If you can't get it going with bungee cords, wire and electrician's tape, it's serious. Never try to race an old geezer, he may have one more gear than you. God does not subtract from my life the time I spend riding. Gray-haired riders don't get that way from pure luck. Bikes parked out front mean good chicken-fried steak inside. 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 the car window. Don't argue with an 18-wheeler (just go faster). Don't lead the pack if you don't know where you're going. I Never ride faster than my guardian angel can fly. Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it. Time for a road trip for Sleeperhawk and me!!!:dancefool:
