WHAT MY SPYDER TAUGHT ME

1. The only good view of a thunderstorm is in your rear view mirror.

2. Four wheels move the body; three wheels move the soul.

3. I'd rather be riding my motorcycle and thinking about God, than sitting in church thinking about my bike.

4. Life may begin at 30, but it doesn't get real interesting until about 75 mph.

5. Midnight bugs taste just as bad as Noon time bugs.

6. Sometimes it takes a whole tank full of gas before you can think straight.

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

8. Young riders pick a destination and go; old riders pick a direction and go.

9. When you're riding lead, don't spit.

10. Catching a yellow jacket in your shirt at 75 mph can double your vocabulary.

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

:roflblack: My 12th grade English teacher took great exception to my writings of motorcycle philosophy. She was wrong, of course, but you would have gotten a "D-" from her, too, for such subject matter. I guess that means I am in very good company. Thanks for sharing......and for the memory.

9. When you're riding lead, don't spit.

That's a great list. Love them all but number 9 especially caught my eye. I stopped chewing tobacco about 3 years ago when my cardiologist convinced me that nicotine would stop up the stent in my artery. Now I can ride lead and wear a full face helmet.

I agree

I like that list, especially #8. The reason for the ride is the 'going' not the 'getting there'.

 

[dltang]

Pretty cool list but for me I would have to change number 3 from:

3. I'd rather be riding my motorcycle and thinking about God, than sitting in church thinking about my bike.

to:

3. I'd rather be riding my motorcycle and thinking about God, but I'm glad I am sitting in church thanking God I have a spyder to ride.

Number 8 is one of my favorites though, I consider myself in the "old" category.

8. Young riders pick a destination and go; old riders pick a direction and go.

If you're "old", what am I? :roflblack: Maybe we'll add...
...and ancient riders forget what they were doing in the first place...LOL

Just remember that you don't quit riding because you get old - you get old because you quit riding.
