Had this surface on another board that I'm on! Enjoy.

Four wheels move the body. Two wheels move the soul.

Life may begin at 30, but it doesn't get real interesting until about
70 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.

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

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.

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.

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

Whatever it is, it's better to do it in the wind.

Two-lane blacktop isn't a highway, it's an attitude.

People are like motorcycles; each is customized a bit differently.

The best alarm clock is sunshine on chrome.

A friend is someone who'll get out of bed at 2 am 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 NEW bike on a trailer.

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.

Never try to race an old geezer, he may have one more gear than yo!
u.




Bikes parked out front mean good chicken-fried steak inside.




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

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.

Four wheels move the body. Two wheels move the soul.

So 4 wheels move the body and soul : )

Life may begin at 30, but it doesn't get real interesting until about
70 mph.


The cop that pulled me over for doing 70 in a 30 agrees.


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.

I cheated and got a drum of luck.

If you wait, all that happens is that you get older.
Can't argue with facts

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

Your bags aren't big enough. : )

The only good view of a thunderstorm is in your rear view mirror.
Only if you don't have a 1 piece waterproof Aerostitch

Don't ride so late into the night that you sleep through the sunrise.
The sunrise will blind you, bring a tinted visor!

Sometimes it takes a whole tank of fuel before you can think
straight.

I know a couple of people that are slow like that, they have to wear helmets regardless of whether they are on the bike or not : )


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

Not with stock Uly headlights!

Never do less than forty miles before breakfast.
So you want me to skip breakfast and just have lunch at 7am?

One bike on the road is worth two in the garage.
Yes if your road bike is the Ducati Desmo, that bike has a KBB value of at least 10 bikes in the garage

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

My GPS tells me where to go

Whatever it is, it's better to do it in the wind.
Thats what she said


People are like motorcycles; each is customized a bit differently.
Yes, and most are overweight, slow, and smoke and drink a lot.

The best alarm clock is sunshine on chrome.
"Ahh! my ****ing eyes! I cant see ****"

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

Your friend won't be your friend the second time around....

Catching a yellow jacket in your shirt at 70 mph can double your
vocabulary.

Again, never will happen with the Aerostitch spacesuit


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

Again can't argue with a fact.

There's something ugly about a NEW bike on a trailer.
Well its a 1125R, its gonna be ugly even when old : )

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

Every ride restores my faith in my bald Scorpion Syncs

If you can't get it going with bungee cords, wire and electrician's
tape, it's serious.

They make a blue pill for that

Never try to race an old geezer, he may have one more gear than you.
His frail old body can't handle 200mph : )


Bikes parked out front mean good chicken-fried steak inside.
I thought it meant good beer.

There are three kinds of riders: Those who watch the fuel gage, those who watch the speedometer, and those who blink down at the tach every so often.

Johnny... I'm not sure of the original thread but I'm on a TUFS board that listed it. I liked the Philosophy!

I may have to have a t-shirt made of this one
