THE OLD PHILOSOPHER SEZ,

The ol' philosopher is a biker, and after many saddle 
sores and miles traveled he has found a few words of 
wisdom for you youngsters:

1. Gray-haired bikers don't get that way from pure luck.

2. The only good view of a thunderstorm is in your 
     rearview mirror.

3. Only Bikers understand why dogs love to stick their 
    heads out car windows.

4. Pie and Coffee are as important as gasoline.

5. Never do less than Forty miles before breakfast.

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

7. Winter is Natures way of telling you to polish.

8. The best alarm clock is sunshine on Chrome.

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

10. When you're riding lead....don't spit.

11. Midnight bugs taste best.

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

13. NEVER argue with a woman holding a torque 
      wrench.

14. Home is where your bike sits still long enough 
      to leave a few drops of oil on the ground.

15. Bikes don't leak oil, they mark their territory.

For those of you who just can't get enough of the 
ol' philosopher's wisdom, here's a few more I 
gleamed as I watched the pavement pass under 
my wheels:

1. Two lane blacktop isn't a highway-it's an attitude.

2. A motorcycle can't sing on the streets of a city.

3. Keep your bike in good repair; motorcycle boots are
    NOT comfortable for walking.

4. If the bike ain't braking properly, you don't start by 
    rebuilding the engine.

5. Remember to pay as much attention to your partner 
    as you do your carburetor.

6. Well trained reflexes are quicker than luck.

7. Good coffee should be indistinguishable from 50 
    weight motor oil.

8. The twisties-not the superslabs-separate the bikers 
    from the squids.

9. If she changes her oil more than she changes her 
    mind...follow her.

10. Hunger can make even roadkill taste good.

11.Sleep with one arm thru the spokes and keep your 
     pants on.

12. Everyone crashes. Some get back on. Some don't. 
      Some can't.

13. Beware the biker who says the bike never breaks 
    down.

14. There are drunk bikers. There are old bikers. There 
       are NO old, drunk bikers.

15. Always replace the cheapest part first.
