Only a biker knows . . .: Motorcycle wit and wisdom, #18

Note: Yes I was stupid. I published an article two days ago that used this title, but wasn't the "wit and wisdom." Here's the right stuff, and I've changed the title on that other one.

I see it's time once again for some profundity, some humor, and some silliness. Only a biker knows why a dog sticks its head out the window, and while others may appreciate these quotes, only a biker will really, really understand some of them.
