[Luckys Lover]

Yeah, I know we've seen it before but it's a good reminder.

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

People ask us why we ride a motorcycle. For those who have experienced the joy, no explanation is necessary; for those who have not, no explanation is possible.

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 40, 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.

Midnight bugs 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 drunk 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 electrics.

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 a.m.. to drive his pickup to the middle of nowhere to get you when you're broken down.

Catching a yellow jacket in your shirt @ 70 mph can double your vocabulary.

Catching a yellow jacket in your helmet will triple that special vocabulary.

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

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

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

Keep the painted side up, and the rubber side down!

very true. I agree 100%

Young riders pick a destination and go. Old riders pick a direction and go.  That's how I roll 

A good mechanic will let you watch without charging you for it.  So ture 

There are drunk riders and there are old riders, but there are not many old, drunk riders. This should be true, but I happen to know a few. 

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

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

Thanks for the post Wayne, I liked it.

Amen.

If you stare at something too long, you'll hit it, or it'll hit you. This goes for women too.

In the same vein, Peripheral vision is king- give up staring at stoplights, watch for them out of the edge of your vision to sharpen yours.

Flat tires happen. Be ready for them.

Fix your electrical issues WELL and CORRECTLY the FIRST TIME.

Tire pressure is like blood pressure- check it frequently and keep it healthy or it will kill you.

Stopping to help other bikers is more important than stopping to help other motorists. You'll never feel more stranded than with a broken-down bike on the side of a cold, dark highway. Pay into karma to help ensure that in your time of need, help is rendered.

If you're bringing your lady friend for a trip on the bike, be prepared to pack 1/4 as much as she does. Frequently this may mean wearing the same outfit for all three days of your weekend trip, so that she can bring outfits for every day, and a hairdryer, and makeup, etc. If you find a woman who can eschew these things, treasure her.

Sleeping on top of picnic tables at Texas rest/picnic areas is a great way to keep off the ground and rest without paying for a hotel room- and most are covered, and have convenient bike parking under the awning too (next to the table )

one i made up   "be prepared, When you think you know every trick the bike will pull, it will show you a new one"

Faster...Faster... Until all of the fear of speed is gone!!!!!!!!!

Been done before, but I still like it!!!!!!!

"I'm riding my psychiatrist" - a great bumper sticker for a biker - if it would fit.
