A ride across the prairie
Motorcyclists say the darnedest things! (For those of you who are too young to remember, that's an adaptation of a line from Art Linkletter. But then, of course, you're too young to remember Art Linkletter. OK, just ignore it.)
As regular readers know, I periodically publish a list of quotes from and/or relating to motorcycling. Without further introduction, here is the lastest list of 20.
- Home is where your bike sits still long enough to leave a few drops of oil on the ground.
- Get yourself to the hills and be uplifted, assuming you've got some good knobbies.
- I spent most of my money on beer, bikes, and bait. The rest I wasted!
- We don't stop riding because we get old, we get old because we stop riding.
- Loud pipes risk rights!
- I may be a poor rider, but my bike sure is SLOW.
- Life is an adventure, and I refuse to live a boring one.
- Adventure is what happens when you thought you were going to have a good time.
- When in doubt, throttle out.
- Calling on all my noob skills, I froze at the controls.
- Aging and still riding is like the talking dog. It does not matter how well the dog talks but rather that the dog talks at all.
- Harley-Davidson® motorcycles: Impeding the normal flow of traffic for over 100 years.
- I don’t mind riding in the rain and I don’t mind riding in the cold. But cold rain makes my makeup run.
- Motorcycles: Because cars lean the wrong way.
- Motorcycle racing makes heroin addiction look like a vague wish for something salty. -- Peter Egan
- Accelerate until you see God, then BRAKE! -- Kevin Schwantz
- Women come and go, but motorcycles are forever.
- A skittish motor-bike with a touch of blood in it is better than all the riding animals on earth... -- T.E. Lawrence
- Trailers are for sissies, don't be a girlie man.
- Let's ban idiots, not the equipment they annoy us with.
