Cool bike "phrases"

[Maduro Mistress]

I'm in a literary mood today and was thinking. I hear cool biking phrases all the time, why not start a thread! The one that was from the other day:

"Dual carriageway justice"

[buzz]

when concerning corners

'It is better go slow in than dead out.'

[The Buddha]

I got a good one ...
Using a car to commute is like using a sledge hammer to pick your teeth ...
Cool.

I ride a motorcycle because cars don't intelectualy stimulate me to the level of stimulation I desire.

because it's not a motorcycle.

Yeah its a boat

Power does not compare to skill.

It's more fun trying to go fast on a slow motorcycle than going slow on a fast motorcycle.

It's not so much going fast as it is trying to go fast. Trying is more fun.

"keep the shiny side up"

"Speed doesn't kill -- it's the sudden stop at the end"

[Badger]

"A superior rider uses their exceptional judgement to avoid situations that would require their exceptional skills."

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

One of you has this for a sig line:

"Motorcycles don't leak oil; they mark their territory"

Love that one!  

[Blueknyt]

"there are 2 types of riders, One that has been down, and one that is going to.  Age,speed,skills,luck doesnt matter, it happens to everyone atleast once."


"Aint Skeerd"

and my sig below

You will never see a motorcycle in front of a psychiatrists office.

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

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

There are old riders and there are drunk riders, but there are no old drunk riders.

I find it a bit amusing that many of these adages are the same in aviation, such as:

"There are old pilots and there are bold pilots, but there are no old, bold pilots."

"Young pilots choose a destination.  Old pilots choose a direction."

Some others just as easily adaptable:

Like the sea, the air is unforgiving of error, incompetence, or innatention.

The Cub is the safest airplane in the world; it can just barely kill you. (Same as the GS?)

The most dangerous words in aviation are: "Watch This!"

Flying isn't dangerous.  Crashing is what's dangerous.

Learn from the mistakes of others.  You won't live long enough to make all of them yourself.

Never let an aircraft take you somewhere your brain didn't get to five minutes earlier.

Good judgement comes from experience.  Unfortunately, experience usually comes from poor judgement.

Some of my favorites that are true, true, true...but not applicable to motorcycles:

The three most useless things in aviation are:  Altitude above you, Runway behind you, and Fuel in the truck.

The only time you have too much fuel is when you're on fire

It's better to be on the ground wishing you were in the air than to be in the air wishing you were on the ground.

Every takeoff is optional.  Every landing is mandatory.

A 'good' landing is one you walk away from.  A 'great' landing is one after which you can use the plane again.

There are three simple rules for making a smooth landing.  Unfortunately, no one knows what they are.

Great lines! Keep em coming!

The most dangerous words in aviation are: "Watch This!"

.

Exponentially worse when proceeded by the words, "Hold my beer"

The most dangerous words in the world..

Hold my beer and watch this!

There are old riders and there are bad riders, but there are no old, bad riders.

Submarines: The number of times you surface must equal the number of times you submerge.

Lefty-loosey, rightey-tightey. Unless, it's the right mirror on a Yamaha .
