Default ten commandments

I had this posted on another thread but it was kind of lost in the shuffle. I thought others might find it amusing.

THE SACRED AND HOLY HOUSE OF THE V TWIN
TEN COMMANDMENTS
 
the first commandment: Thy motorcycle shalt have two cylinders and two cylinders shall be the number that thy morocycle has. Neither shalt the number of cylinders be three, nor shalt the number of cylinders be one, unless thou art adding one more cylinder.

The second commandment: Thy cylinders juxtaposition shalt be in the most holy and divine relationship of the "v". Thy cylinders may not be in the unholy "opposed" relationship, nor shalt they be blasphemed by being "parallel".

The third commandment: Thy motorcylce shalt make the celestial rumble in low tones of "potato-potato-potato" into infinity. Thou shalt modify this sound with thy devotion to upgraded exhaust systems in the persuit of the perfect "potato"

the fourth commandment: Thy motorcycle shalt shine with the heavenly blaze of chromium, and chromium shalt be the offering unto thine bike, unless thou hast recieved a vision of total black out, which is also divine.

The fifth commandment: Thou shalt wave to thy brothers and sisters whilst on thy holy pilgramages and shall offer and welcome companionship at thine local watering hole.

The sixth commandment. Leather shalt be the clothing that thou wearest. Thy clothing shall not be other material lesst it too is shrouded in leather. Thy angelic back seat rider shalt be permitted to wear her chaps around the house.

The seventh commandment. Thou shalt covet thy neighbors ride, although only in a manner that compliments thy neighbor's choice of customizations.

The eight commandment: Thou shalt make time to ride and polish thy bike on a religious basis. Thou shalt not polish a bike without riding. Neither shalt thou ride a bike that does not gleam unto the heavens.

The ninth commandment: Thou shalt change fluids on a regular basis. So shalt thou engage in other maintanance according to thine holy service schedule.

The tenth commandment: Thou shalt ride with a smile on thy face whilst feeling the power between thine legs.
amen
