OK, awhile ago I provided some interesting and amusing quotes included in signatures by visitors to motorcycle forums. That title, "Only a Biker Knows . . .," comes from one of the first batch. That complete quote was "Only a biker knows why a dog sticks his head out of a car window."

Here's another batch.

---You start the game of life with a full pot of luck and an empty pot of experience. The object is to fill the pot of experience before you empty the pot of luck.
---Never be ashamed to unlearn an old habit.
---There are two simple rules for riding smoothly and safely in snow and on ice. Unfortunately nobody knows what they are.
---People take different roads seeking fulfillment and happiness. Just because they're not on your road doesn't mean they've gotten lost.
---Tomorrow is uncertain, so today I ride.
---People are like motorcycles: each is customized a bit differently.
---Never hesitate to ride past the last street light at the edge of town.
---It takes more love to share the saddle than it does to share the bed.
---It is good to have an end to journey towards; but it is the journey that matters in the end.
---To me it's more fun to ride a slow bike quickly. Going slowly on an old Indian or Henderson is a lot of fun. I used to say that I don't like any motorcycle you can't see through, and there's something to that. I like to see the motor. - Jay Leno
---Never trade the thrills of living for the security of existence.
---If you can't get it going with bungee cords and electrician's tape, it's serious.
---A good rider has balance, judgment, and good timing. So does a good lover.
---There's something ugly about a NEW bike on a trailer.
---Bikes parked out front mean good chicken-fried steak inside.
---Catching a yellow jacket in your shirt at 70 mph can double your vocabulary.
---Don't ride so late into the night that you sleep through the sunrise.
---Everyone crashes. Some get back on. Some don't. Some can't.
---Four wheels move the body. Two wheels move the soul.
---I'd rather be riding my motorcycle thinking about God than sitting in church thinking about my motorcycle.
