* 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 110 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 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 rear view mirror.

* 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 fifty miles 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 and go.

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

* Always back your bike into the curb, and sit where you can see it.

* Work to ride & 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're 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 super slabs -separate the riders from the squids.

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

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

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

* 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 and restore your faith.

* 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 a car window.

* 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.
