Motorcycle Humour
« on: July 19, 2023, 07:24:57 AM »
Motorcycle (& Scooter) truisms...passed to me from a another site so I'm not claiming to be the author.

If two air gauges agree, they are both wrong.
Shaft drives are less trouble than chain drives, until they aren’t.
The center ruins a perfectly good motorcycle tire.
Motorcycles choose the most awkward times to fall over.
It’s best to keep summer air in the tires.
Rule number one; look where you want to go. Rule number two; reread rule number one.
June bugs aim for the head.
Slow for school zones, loose gravel, speed traps, and vultures feeding on road kill.
Expensive modifications reduce the sale value of the motorcycle.
New tires just feel good.
That first ride in the spring is going to be wobbly.
Motorcycles make you invisible.
Loud bikes are just loud.
Helmet shields are best cleaned with dish soap, warm water, and finger tips. Dry with microfiber or a dish towel from IKEA. Paper products scratch plastic. Yes, even Kleenex, if only paper is available, blot gently.
You can fall asleep on a motorcycle.
When traveling east; start late and ride till dark but watch for deer.
When traveling west; start early and stop early but watch for deer.
Watch for deer.
Choose able travel companions that can be a bit crusty.
Let the kid sit on your bike.
Regards & ride safe,
Neil
