Bikes, bikes, and more bikes

Time for another installment of biker quotes. I pick these up from the folks who post to biker forums across the web and include catchy, interesting, funny quotes in their signatures. You can read the first installment of biker quotes on this post and the second installment on this post.

• Ride often, ride well, have fun.
• Enjoy the ride . . . the rest takes care of itself.
• Riding faster than everyone else only guarantees you'll ride alone.
• Sometimes the best communication happens when you're on separate bikes.
• Sooner or later opinions fade, and the name on the tank matters not. I think that happens somewhere between 4th and 5th gear.
• Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in one pretty and well preserved piece, but to skid across the line broadside, thoroughly used up, worn out, leaking oil, shouting HOLY CRAP!
• Never mistake horsepower for staying power.
• I like the mechanicalness of motorcycles. I have a ZX-14, and it's a fantastic bike. But the thing is, it doesn't need me. It's the vintage stuff I like. -- Jay Leno
• Two wheels? Lets ride!
• There are two types of people in this world, people who ride motorcycles and people who wish they could ride motorcycles.
• Work to ride and ride to work.
• Ride till you can't.
• Park the latest Ducati, Harley, Honda, or BMW on a street corner in any city or town in the world and a crowd will gather. -- Thomas Krens
• When you look down the road, it seems to never end - but you better believe it does.
• The ride IS the destination.
• Respect the person who has seen the dark side of motorcycling and lived.
• Life may begin at 30, but it doesn't get real interesting until about 110.
• I only feel like riding my motorcycle on days that end with the letter "Y."
• Actual experience beats half-assed assumptions and prejudice.
• You know you're a biker wannabe if you put your pony-tail back in the drawer after you get home.

 There is now a fourth installment, too. And a fifth and sixth.
