Wisdom For Us Riders

Got this in an e-mail from a friend........

"Motorcycle Wisdom"

Four wheels move the body. Two wheels move the soul.

Life may begin at 30, but it doesn't get real interesting until about 110 mph on a mountain road.

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 your 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 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.

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

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.

The 40/40 rule can’t always apply (temp <= 400 rain/snow/crap forecast => 40%) Sometimes ya just gotta let it all hang out for the betterment of mankind or some other serious stuff..

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. A REALLY good pal will answer the phone..!!

Catching a yellow jacket in your shirt or helmet at 70 mph can double your vocabulary. Doing it twice will quadruple it.

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

A 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, wire and electrician's tape, it's serious.

Never try to race an old geezer, he may have one more gear than you and probably knows the back way/shortcut.

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

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

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

Randy I believe that this pretty much sums it all up. I think I’ll show this to all who ask me why I have to take 4,000 mile motorcycle trips.

Alot of my friends live by "party late into the night and miss everything the next day" It drives my camp nuts when I start my bike up just before sunrise and ride up a high dune or hill to watch the sun come up. We have had some fantastic sunrises at our desert dashes in the past including rainbows last year and the year before fresh snow in the mountains shining at us.

"If you wait, all that happens is you get older" sums it up for me.
