Only a biker knows . . .: Motorcycle wit and wisdom, #12

Yes, we bikers know why a dog sticks his head out the window. We also know a lot of other things, both wise and whimsical. Here is another batch.

  • To me, the best kind of trips are the ones you planned on the way, allowed yourself to change, and maybe didn't end up where you expected.
  • Here's to burnt skin, numb crotches, and bugs in your teeth. Ride on!
  • If your mind wanders, ride after it.
  • If you can't get it going with bungee cords and duct tape, God's telling you to stop for the night.
  • It's more fun to ride a slow bike fast, than a fast bike slow.
  • The best mods you can do will bloody your knuckles and empty your pockets, leaving a little tear in your eye.
  • Be a biker–kick start your day.
  • From hell hot days to cold blue skies, thru moonless nights with headlight eyes.
  • Why? Because dinner always tastes better with helmet hair.
  • It's not the fastest bike out there, it's not the most well behaved, but what it does is put a smile on my face every time I ride it and isn't that what really matters?
  • AGTATT doesn't mean much if you get run over by 60,000 pounds of truck and cargo.
  • Biking skillz or Hospital billz
  • Crawl, walk, ride
  • Go like hell, You'll get there quicker!
  • Never be ashamed to unlearn an old habit.
  • For some there is therapy; for the rest of us there are motorcycles.
  • A journey of a thousand miles begins with a flat tire and a dead battery.
  • Keep thy eye on the tach and thine ears on the engine lest thy whirlybits seek communion with the sun.
  • Ride fast and take chances!
  • Motorcycles tell us a more useful truth: we are small and exposed, and probably moving too fast for our own good, but that's no reason not to enjoy every minute of the ride. ~ Dave Karlotski

    I just can't get enough of these. Thanks for doing the research. My favorite - 'For some there is therapy; for the rest of us there are motorcycles.'
