Twelve Important Things My Motorcycle Has Taught Me.
Twelve Important Things My Motorcycle Has Taught Me.

1. The only good view of a thunderstorm is in your rear view mirror. 2. Four wheels move the body; two wheels move the soul. 3. I'd rather be riding my motorcycle and thinking about God, than sitting in church thinking about my bike. 4. Life may begin at 30, but it doesn't get real interesting until about 75 mph. 5. Midnight bugs taste just as bad as Noon time bugs. 6. Sometimes it takes a whole tank full of gas before you can think straight. 7. A bike on the road is worth two in the shed. 8. Young riders pick a destination and go; old riders pick a direction and go. 9. When you're riding lead, don't spit. 10. Catching a yellow jacket in your shirt at 75 mph can double your vocabulary. 11. If you can't get it going with bungee cords and duct tape, it's serious. 12. Only a biker knows why a sticks his head out of a car window. 13. (Bonus) I've never seen a Harley parked in front of a psychiatrist's office.

I rest my case!!!!!!!! Damn---can't wait for spring

 Agree with all of them lol, after 43 years of riding Triumph Bonneville 650's. As for #10, it was early spring of 1971, still chiully in New England. Went AWOL from Ft. Monmouth NJ Signal Corp School in the Army, headed up I-91 to a friend's place in Hanovr NH on my 1969 Bonnie, no leathers, just layers of Army long johns, fatigues and linered field jacket, when a bee of some type blew right down my chest and stung me in the side. Dam near dropped the Bonnie, and spent about 30 miinutes on the side of the road getting crazy sick...I was allergic to bees! Good times even with these little learning moments lol.

 Wear a 'shorty' lid... when on your scoot.

Your brains and face are just too precious... save your noggin from nutz in tin cans.
