* Four wheels move the body. Two wheels move the soul.
* Life may begin at 30, but it doesn't get really interesting until about 60 mph.
*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.
* If you wait, all that happens is that you get older.
* Midnight bugs taste just as bad as noon time bugs.
* Saddlebags can never hold everything you want, but they CAN hold everything you need.
* 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 rear view mirror.
* Don't ride so late into the night that you sleep through the sunrise.
* Sometimes it takes a whole tank of fuel before you can think straight.
* 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 do less than forty miles before breakfast.
* One bike on the road is worth two in the garage.
* 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 mechanic will let you watch without charging you for it.
* Sometimes the fastest way to get there is to stop for the night.
* Whatever it is, it's better to do it in the wind.
* Two-lane blacktop isn't a highway, it's an attitude.
* When you look down the road it seems to never end, but you better believe, it does.
* Winter is nature's way of telling you to clean and polish.
* Motorcycle boots are NOT comfortable for walking. That's why they are called "motorcycle boots."
* People are like motorcycles; each is customized a bit differently.
* Sometimes the best communication happens when you are on separate bikes.
* Good coffee should be indistinguishable from 50 weight motor oil.
* The best alarm clock is sunshine on chrome.
* A true friend is someone who'll get out of bed at 2 a. m. to drive his pickup to the middle of nowhere to get you when you're broken down.
* Catching a yellow jacket in your shirt at 70 mph can double your vocabulary.
* If you want to get somewhere before sundown, you can't stop at every tavern.
* There's something ugly about a bike on a trailer.
* Be careful. Don't argue with an 18-wheeler, a bus, or even a car.
* Never be ashamed to unlearn an old habit.
* A long ride can clear your mind, restore your faith, and use up a lot of fuel.
* If you can't get it going with bungee cords, wire and electrician's tape, it's serious.
* If you ride like there's no tomorrow, there won't be.
* Bikes parked out front mean good chicken-fried steak inside.
* There are old riders. And there bold riders. There are NO old, bold riders.
* Always replace the cheapest parts first.
* You can forget what you do for a living when your knees are in the breeze.
* Patience is the ability to keep your motor idling.
* Only a biker knows why a dog sticks his head out the car window.
* There are two types of people in this world; people who ride motorcycles and people who wish they could ride motorcycles.
* Never try to race an old Geezer, he may have one more gear than you.
* Gray-haired bikers don't get that way from pure luck.
 
* Life may begin at 30, but it doesn't get really interesting until about 60 mph.

oh yeah... i used to have hornets/wasps/bees bounce off my chest and up into my helmet. I've been VERY fortunate in not being stung often, although I would make any MSF instructor cringe if he saw me stop while unfastening my helmet. :laugh:

now i have a "quiet rider" on every helmet it will fit. :thumbsup:
