The smaller the old person the bigger the car. The bigger the RV the smaller the dog. You can thank me later.

With around 1.000,000 miles the bigger the wings decal n the rear window the less they ride a motorcycle! Wheelie bars on the street they rarely go to a real drag strip. The more mixed up the brands I am long trip'in with most likely the more fun had as we all could care less about brands. Left turn signal on for three miles lay down on horn and see face in his rear view before a pass! :putput:

Observation from just one day of riding... riding is fun!

Signifying monkey, stay up in your tree. Always lying and signifying, but you better not monkey with me.

Have you ever gone thru 4 strands of barbed wire on a bike? Do you have all your fingers? On the other hand { the one with all the fingers} I was lost the day I was born.

10 fingers 10 toes after 7 accidents (that I can think of off the top of my head). All of them on sportsbikes, go figure :bang: worst one put the headlight/forks/front tire/etc about where my left knee would have been if I hadn't vaulted off it at the moment of impact. To this day I have to fight back from flipping out when people don't use their turn signals, and eve in a car I assume if someone coming at me can turn right in front of me, they will turn right in front of me.

Took a good knock on the head. Used to be you could drop me off somewhere I'd never been before blindfolded and I could find my way out, now I could get lost walking to the can in the middle of the night
