  • Truth

    There are some quotes you hear that undeniably truthful, that’s absolutely the case with these 8 motorcycle truths.

    1.) Sometimes you need a really crooked road to get your head straight.

    2.) I don’t ride a bike to add days to my life. I ride a bike to add life to my days.

    3.) Riding experience cannot be bought, taught, or given. It can only be hand by the miles and the years you ride.

    4.) I was born to ride, forced to work.

    5.) I didn’t choose the biker life, the biker life chose me.

    6.) Love is all you need… and a motorcycle.

    7.) Riding washes from the soul the dust of everyday life.

    8.) Look twice for motorcycles, someone’s whole world is on that bike.

    Sometimes all you need is some open road and some time alone with yourself inside your head.

          This saying can be applied to many things in life
          but it does seem appropriate to the feeling of a good bike ride as well:

              Great words Mack very heart felt and great picture from you to Greg pretty scenery but one thing I do not like about your road. No up down twist around catch air humps nothing. I know its the crusin that maters but me I'd be snoozing.
              To fix the problem one should not make more assumptions than the minimum needed.

                What was before that straight stretch and what came after was the reason we were there. That stretch of highway was only about 100 miles out of 3500 and actually kind of a nice rest. Made a couple of stops and got some great pics.

                I don't want to burglarize Mack's thread.

                What was over the horizon.............. Moki Dugway............. Paved in SOME of the curves. No sleeping here.

                    Unfortunately, sometimes ya gotta ride the straight ones to get to the twisty ones. Roads like this one give you a chance to "Blow the soot out".
                    Try your hardest to be the kind of person your dog thinks you are.

                    You can live to be 100, as long as you give up everything that would make you want to live to be 100!
