Got these today from one of my buds kinda long but i just couldn't pick which ones to delete


Midnight Bugs taste Best

· Saddlebags can never hold everything you
want, but they CAN hold everything you need.


· NEVER argue with a woman holding a torque
wrench

· Never try to race an old Geezer, he may have
one more gear than you.

· Home is where your Bike is.

· You'll get farther down the road if you learn
to use more than two fingers on the front brake.

· Routine maintenance should never be neglected


· It takes more love to share the saddle than
it does to share the bed.

· The only good view of a thunderstorm is in
your rearview mirror.

· Never be afraid to slow down.

· Only Bikers understand why dogs love to stick
their heads out car windows. .

· Never ask a biker for directions if you're in
a hurry to get there.

· Don't ride so late into the night that you
sleep through the sunrise.

· Pie and Coffee are as important as gasoline.

· Sometimes it takes a whole tankful of gas
before you can think straight.

· If you want to get a job, you may have to
compromise your principals. You may even have to
shave.

· Riding faster than everyone else only
guarantees you'll ride alone.

· Never hesitate to ride past the last street
light at the edge of town.

· Never mistake Horsepower for staying power.

· A good rider has balance, judgment, and good
timing. So does a good lover.

· A cold hamburger can be reheated quite nicely
by placing it in the crotch between the two cylinders.


· Never do less then Forty miles before
breakfast.

· If you don't ride in the rain-you don't ride.


· A Bike on the road is worth 2 in the shop.

· Respect the person who has seen the Dark side
of motorcycling and lived.

· Young riders pick a destination and go... Old
riders pick a direction and go.

· A good wrench will let you watch without
charging you for it.

· Sometimes the fastest way to get there is to
stop for the night.

· Always back your scoot into the curb-and sit
where you can see it.

· Work to ride-Ride to work.

· Whatever it is, it's better in the wind.

· Two lane blacktop isn't a highway-it's a
mindset.

· When you look down the road, it seems to
never end-but you better believe it does.

· A biker can smell a party 2500 miles away.

· Winter is Natures way of telling you to
polish.

· A Bike can't sing on city streets.

· Keep your bikes in good repair: riding boots
are NOT comfortable for walking.

· People are like Motorcycles, each is
customized a bit differently.

· If the bike ain't braking properly, you don't
start by rebuilding the engine.

· Remember to pay as much attention to your
partner as you do your carburetor.

· Sometimes the best communication happens when
you're on separate bikes.

· Well-trained reflexes are quicker than luck.

· Good coffee should be indistinguishable from
60 weight motor oil.

· The best alarm clock is sunshine on Chrome.

· Learn to do counterintuitive things that may
someday save your butt.

· The twisties- not the superslabs- separate
the bikers from the squids.

· When you're riding lead--don't spit.

· If you really want to know what's going on,
watch what's happening at least 5 cars ahead.

· Don't make a reputation you'll have to live
down or run away from later.

· If the person in the next lane at the
stoplight rolls up the window and locks the door,
support their view of life by snarling at them.

· A friend is someone who'll get out of bed at
2am to drive his pickup to the middle of nowhere to
get you when you're broken down.

· If she changes her oil more than she changes
her mind--follow her.

· If you want to get somewhere before sundown,
you can't stop at every tavern.

· There's something ugly about a NEW bike on a
trailer.

· Don't lead the pack if you don't know where
you're goin'.

· Sleep with one arm thru the spokes and keep
your pants on.

· Practice wrenching on your own bike.

· Everyone crashes. Some get back on. Some
don't. Some can't.

· Beware the biker who says the bike never
breaks down.

· Some bikes run on 99-octane ego.

· Owning 2 bikes is useful because at least one
can be raided for parts at any given time.

· You'll know she loves you if she offers to
let you ride her bike. Don't do it and she'll love you
even more.

· Don't argue with an 18-wheeler.

· Never be ashamed to unlearn an old habit.

· Maintenance is as much art as it is science.

· A good long ride can clear your mind, restore
your faith, and use up a lot of gasoline.

· If the countryside seems boring, stop, get
off your bike, and go sit in the ditch long enough to
appreciate what was here before the asphalt came.

· If you can't get it goin' with bungee cords
and electricians tape-it's serious.

· If you ride like there's no tomorrow-there
won't be.

· Bikes parked out front means good
Cheeseburgers inside.

· If you want to complain about the pace being
set by the road captain, you better be prepared to
lead the group yourself.

· Gray-haired bikers don't get that way from
pure luck.

· There are drunken bikers. There are old
bikers. There are NO old, drunken bikers.

· Thin leather looks good in the bar, but it
won't save you from "road rash" if you go down.

· The best modifications cannot be seen from
the outside.

· Always replace the cheapest parts first.

· You can forget what you do for a living when
your knees are in the breeze.




· It takes all the pistons and cylinders to
make a bike run. One is not more important than the
other.

· Patience is the ability to keep your motor
idling when you feel like stripping your gears

· A vacation with no bike isn't a vacation



· If your bike has no name you haven't
had it long enough



· You cant have too many bikes.


Hope you enjoyed
Tiny
