Wise Sayings...or Not

“Motorcycling might be the ultimate collaboration between man and machine. Attack it. It is the most intimate mode of travel in which to take in both the enormous beauty and the most subtle nuances of nature. Savor it.”
― Michael ONeill, Road Work: Images And Insights Of A Modern Day Explorer

Bad men cannot make good citizens. It is when a people forget God that tyrants forge their chains. A vitiated state of morals, a corrupted public conscience, is incompatible with freedom. No free government, or the blessings of liberty, can be preserved to any people but by a firm adherence to justice, moderation, temperance, frugality, and virtue; and by a frequent recurrence to fundamental principles.

“Saw about a dozen and a half bikers pull into a gas station. After watching them stop at the pumps, start up their bikes and ride to the front of the convenience store, stop, then fire up their bikes again and take off, I’ve come to conclusion that the most time consuming activity bikers engage in is finding neutral.”

The variation I've heard on those words of wisdom is the only difference between boys and men is the cost of their toys. Similar idea.

It truly is an odd thing we bikers do, riding through miserable conditions like this. We don’t invite then or look for them, surely, but when they are upon us we relish the challenge and silently claim the superiority of adventure over comfort, wilderness over warmth, discovery over certainty.”

Is that 12.5 bikers?

. . . the most time consuming activity bikers engage in is finding neutral.”

'Cause they don't know how to adjust their clutch cables properly.
