Biker Wisdom

This has probably been posted before but here it is again

----------------------

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 60 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.

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.

Sometimes it takes a whole tank full 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.

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

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.

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

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

Work to ride and ride to work.

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

The best alarm clock is sunshine on chrome.

Handlebars are the best frame for a sunrise.

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

A friend is someone who will get out of bed at 2 am and drive his pickup to the middle of nowhere to get your bike when it's broken down and won't ask you, 'what the hell were you doing?'

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

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

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

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

Don't argue with an 18 wheeler.

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

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

Yes, oldies but goldies... I only disagree with the "catching a yellow-jacket in your shirt". I think it would halve your vocabulary.
