Favourite Motorcycle expressions/sayings...

#1 Unread post by totalmotorcycle »

Thought this would be a neat topic to start as I heard it on Rolling Thunder Radio 650 and they used the expression:

"Never ride faster than your guardian angel can fly."

What ones have you heard?

I always liked this one

"Don't ride like you're invisible, ride like other drivers are trying to kill you"

However, when talking about squidly actions a trauma surgeon I know pointed, make a whistle sound and said "You! Out of the gene pool!" It's become one of my favorite sayings around squids.

Four wheels move the body, two wheels move the soul.

Everyone dies, not everyone lives.

And one that I made up.

Loud clothes save lives.

United we ride
A dog had his chain reduced one link at a time, every few days, until his chain was so short he could barely move. He never resisted because he was conditioned to the loss of his freedom slowly, over time. Are we in this country becoming like the dog?
