Four wheels move the body. Two wheels move the soul.
Life may begin at 30, but it doesn't get real interesting until about 70 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.
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.
One bike on the road is worth two in the garage.
Young riders pick a destination and go. Old riders pick a direction and go.
Whatever it is, it's better to do it in the wind.
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.
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.
Catching a yellow jacket in your shirt at 70 mph can double your vocabulary.
If you want to get somewhere before sundown, you can't stop at every tavern.
There's something ugly about a NEW bike on a trailer.
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.

Bikes parked out front mean good chicken-fried steak inside.
You can forget what you do for a living when your knees are in the breeze.
There are two types of people in this world;
There are two types of people in this world;

Cool! Here are some more:
Experience, it comes right after you need it.
Live and ride for today! Tomorrow may never come!!!
Worry looks around, Sorry looks back, Faith looks up
The road has always been a place to find answers, or ignor questions.
Four wheels move the body, two wheels move the soul
If you wait all you do is get older
"Calling upon my years of experience, I froze at the controls." – Stirling Moss
"Life may begin at 30, but it doesn’t get real interesting until about 150."
"Never trade the thrills of living for the security of existence".
"It is good to have an end to journey towards; but it is the journey that matters in the end." Ursula K. LeGuin

Biker Wisdom - One Liners
These great "One Liners" come from "Sit Down, Shut Up and Hang On: A Biker's Guide to Life" by Penny Powers and Chuck Hays, and are reproduced here with the publisher's permission. For this and other titles published by Gibbs Smith, Publisher, check them out at Gibbs-Smith, Publishers.
Saddlebags can never hold everything you want, but they CAN hold everything you need.
Routine maintenance should never be neglected
Never be afraid to slow down.
Never ask a biker for directions if you're in a hurry to get there.
Pie and Coffee are as important as gasoline.
Riding faster than everyone else only guarantees you'll ride alone.
A good wrench 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 scoot 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.
Keep your bike in good repair: Motorcycle boots are NOT comfortable for walking.
If the bike ain't braking properly, you don't start by rebuilding the engine.
Remember to pay as much attention to your partner as you do your carburetor.
Sometimes the best communication happens when you're on separate bikes.
Well-trained reflexes are quicker than luck.
The best alarm clock is sunshine on Chrome.
When you're riding lead--don't spit.
If you really want to know what's going on, watch what's happening at least 5 cars ahead.
Sleep with one arm thru the spokes and keep your pants on.
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.
If the countryside seems boring, stop, get off your bike, and go sit in the ditch long enough to appreciate what was here before the asphalt came.
If you can't get it goin' with bungee cords and electricians tape-it's serious.
If you ride like there's no tomorrow-there won't be.
If you want to complain about the pace being set by the road captain, you better be prepared to lead the group yourself.
Gray-haired bikers don't get that way from pure luck.
There are drunk bikers. There are old bikers. There are NO old, drunk bikers.
Always replace the cheapest parts first.
You can forget what you do for a living when your knees are in the breeze.
No matter what marque you ride, it's all the same wind.
