Default Bikers Commandments

1. Four wheels move the body but two wheels move the soul

2. Life may begin at 30, but it doesn't get real interesting until about 60 in a corner.

3. If you wait, all that happens is... you get older.

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

5. Never be afraid to slow down.

6. Riding faster than everyone else only guarantees you'll ride alone.

7. If you don't ride in the rain, you don't ride.

8. A bike on the road is worth two in the shed.

9. Respect the person who has seen the dark side of motorcycling and lived.

10. Some riders pick a destination and go... Real riders pick a direction and go.

11. A good mechanic will let you watch without charging you for it.

12. Sometimes, the best communication happens when you're on separate bikes.

13. 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 if you're bike breaks.

14. Don't lead the ride if you don't know where you're going.

15. Don't argue with an 18-wheeler.

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

17. If you ride like there's no tomorrow, there won't be.

18. There are old riders. There are bold riders. But there aren't many old, bold riders.

19. The best modifications cannot be seen from the outside.

20. Only abiker knows why a dog sticks his head out of a car window.[/align]

Good ones, to which I would add....

Regardless of maker, never pass a stranded biker without stopping.
Treat other bikers as you would like to be treated.
