GREAT MOTORCYCLE QUOTES AND WISDOM

 
A lot of these apply outside of motorcycling as well!
 
    "Four wheels move the body. Two wheels move the soul." HRD Mike:-)

     
  • 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 rearview mirror.
     
  • Never be afraid to slow down.
     
  • 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 forty 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.
     
  • 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.
     
  • 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 superslabs -separate the riders from the squids.
     
  • When you're riding lead, don't spit.
     
  • 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 @ 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.
     
  • Don't lead the pack if you don't know where you're going.
     
  • 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, restore your faith, and use up a lot of fuel.
     
  • 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.
     
  • Keep the paint up, and the rubber down!
     
  • There are two types of people in this world, people who ride motorcycles and people who wish they could ride motorcycles.
     
  • 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 it !!

 

An open letter from Brian, in Shrewsbury, United Kingdom.

Just got this from my uncle in the UK. I did not realize he was so heavy into bikes.
 
Cheers, John
 
Hi John,  
Thanks for the help to select an item on EBay. The BSA is older than my Sunbeam Long Stroke 500cc which is 1928 and has a flat oblong tank. It has an early electric lighting system which I think was enhanced to its present system, possibly to improve forward vision. It was in regular use until 1953 and good lighting became essential around that time. The BSA handle bars are much longer than the shorter bars on mine, which came in about 1928, neither having twist grip throttles. I have a bar mounted lever which means you have to take your hand off the bar to operate, not a good move, particularly when the roads were in pretty poor condition,even at the best of times. You could fight an ongoing battle to aim a reasonable course avoiding large potholes, two hands were a must in the forties and fifties on our roads. I notice the running board type Foot Rests which were standard in the early days, some were much longer. One I recall was the old Indian model with huge Handle Bars in a 'sit up and beg' style and extremely long foot rests. In the early days of the last War a local Grocer had this Indian model with a side car, which he used for delivers to the house. They really were great cumbersome things and possibly very powerful. There is so much I can recall about the old bikes, some with rear wheel brake blocks which meant in wet weather a pocket full of sand was essential, ready to throw on the rear wheel blocks, otherwise stopping was out of the question. When I first started riding my Uncle gave me some good advise, when you get into a speed wobble he said, look for some soft ground and fall off. His reason for him saying this was that, because small pressure discs on the front forks tended to slacken off with movement. A hand adjuster over the forks had to be given a couple of turns to tighten the front wheel Damper before moving off, folks frequently forgot and the inevitable outcome was a wobble. I was guilty of this on occasions but only once came to grief, you learn the hard way sometimes.
 
Will stop now as I can hardly see across the room for exhaust fumes.  
Best Wishes Brian
