These are some tid bits I’ve picked up over the past few years from many of you, many of our rides, and many of our friends.

• The only good view of a thunderstorm is in your rear view mirror.
• Only bikers understand why dogs love to stick their heads out car windows.
• Bikes don’t leak oil, they mark their territory.
• Never ask a biker for directions if you’re in a hurry to get there.
• Sometimes it takes a whole tank full of gas before you can think straight.
• Young riders pick a destination & go.  Old riders pick a direction & go.
• Winter is nature’s way of telling you to polish your bike.
• Keep your bike in good repair as motorcycle boots are not comfortable for walking.
• People are like motorcycles:  each one is customized a bit differently.
• The best alarm clock in the world is sunshine on chrome.
• The twisties, not the highways, separate the bikers from the wannabee’s.
• There’s something ugly about a new bike on a trailer.
• Owning 2 bikes is useful so one can be raided for parts at any given time.
• A friend will drive to the middle of nowhere to help you when you’re broken down.
• If you can’t get it going with bungee’s & electrical tape, it’s serious.
• You can forget what you do for a living when your knees are in the breeze.
• A good long ride can clear your mind & restore your faith.
• No matter what make of bike you ride, it’s all the same wind.
• Being a biker isn’t a pastime. It’s a way of life.
