12 things motorcycles teach us...
« on: May 19, 2011, 10:52:02 AM »

My Dad (who rides) sent this to me... thought it was good.

Twelve things that a motorcycle can teach us!
 
1.  The only good view of a thunderstorm is in your rear view mirror.
2.  Four wheels might move the body but two wheels move the soul.
3.  I'd rather be riding my motorcycle and thinking about God than sitting in Church and thinking about my motorcycle.
4.  Life may begin at 30, but it doesn't get really interesting until about 95 mph.
5.  Midnight bugs taste just as bad as noontime bugs.
6.  Sometimes it takes a whole tank of gas before you can think straight.
7.  A bike on the road is worth two in the shed.
8.  Young riders pick a destination and go, old riders pick a direction and go.
9.  When you are riding lead, don't spit.
10. Catching a yellow jacket in your shirt at 75 mph can double your vocabulary.
11. I've never seen a motorcycle parked outside a psychiatrist's office.
12. Bikers know why dogs stick their heads out car windows.

16. Never be too busy to practice. It's what separates the really good riders from the average ones.
17. Always start the ride with a full tank and an empty bladder.
18. Think of the map as a canvas on which you will paint your dreams.
19. Always ask the cops where to eat. They know all the good places.
20. The reward is in the journey!

21. Don't be in such a hurry to get there that you don't enjoy the ride.
22. Leave enough room for someone else's mistake.
23. Never pass gas. Always top off.
24. Never sell a paid for motorcycle.
