[My] Life in Wisconsin

Things my Motorcycle has Taught Me

From my inbox. (Thank you Duane)!

*******************************


The only good view of a thunderstorm is in your rear view mirror.

People ask us why we ride a motorcycle.
For those who have experienced the joy, no explanation is necessary.
For those who have not, no explanation is possible.

I'd rather be riding my motorcycle and thinking about God, than sitting in church thinking about my motorcycle.

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 40, but it doesn't get real interesting until about 80 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 just as bad as noon time bugs.

Saddlebags can never hold everything you want, but they CAN hold everything you need.

Don't ride so late into the night that you sleep through the sunrise.

Sometimes it takes a whole tank full of gas 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.

A bike on the road is worth two in the shed.

Respect the person who has seen the dark side of motorcycling and lived, and still rides.

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.

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

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

There are drunk riders and there are old riders; but there are not many old, drunks that are riders.

Ride to work.
(Work to ride).

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 test the electrics.

Keep your bike in good repair. Biker boots are not all that comfortable for walking.

People are like motorcycles; each is customized a bit differently.

Sometimes, the best communication happens when you're on separate bikes.

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

A friend is someone who'll get out of bed at 2 a.m. To drive his pickup to the middle of nowhere to get you when you're broken down.

Catching a yellow jacket in your shirt @ 70 mph can double your vocabulary. Catching a yellow jacket in your helmet will triple that special vocabulary.

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

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

If you can't get it going with bungee cords and duct tape, it's serious.

If you ride like there's no tomorrow, today will be a BLAST!

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.

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

Keep the paint up, and the rubber down!

There are two types of people in this world - people who ride, and people who wish they did.

  2. Just adding my own here...

    A deer, coming out of nowhere at 11PM, and 70mph, seriously makes you believe that humans are not smarter than venison...

  3. A June Bug, at 45mph, can leave a welt on your forehead three times the size of the bug itself.
    Especially when the driver ducks, and you have no chance of seeing it before the impact.

  4. Gnats (at any speed) are more popular than Cover Girl makeup, (and much more fun)!

  10. MY oldest daughter will be 44 July 4th and to help grieve her husband leaving her, she has bought
    herself a Harley!!!! It's been her dream since she was 20 yrs old. She is so happy with it the kids
    told me she goes out and hugs and kisses it!! hahaha She has had her license for a few years but
    never could find the money to get it, the hubby always needed something. I think this bike has
    really taken his place....LOL

  11. Although I have missed having a (good) husband in my life, I do think there have been times that I would agree that I would rather have a Harley than a husband.

    having both might be Heaven on Earth though...

  12. "Only a Biker knows why a dog sticks his head out of a car window."

    How true that is....

  13. Never been on a motorcycle but hopefully before I die, I will have the pleasure of taking a ride!

  14. LOTS of fun, as long as you have a considerate rider to take your cherry. A "balls to the wall" rider will scare you to the point you are afraid to ride again.
