10.) Check your tire's air pressure. You'd be surprised how long it's been since you checked it!
9.) You can ride fast and you can ride slow, but never ride in a hurry.
8.) Take number 1 and 7 and turn it into a mantra to chant to yourself while riding anywhere other then your driveway.
7.) Ride like half the people don't see you, and the other half want to kill you.
6.) Thou shalt be OK to covet thy neighbors motorcycle, however thou shalt not buy the exact same motorcycle as this will "pee" them off.
5.) Never ride faster than your line of sight allows
4.) Never believe anything that you read on an internet motorcycle forum!
3.) Yellow vests do not look cool
2.) If you wear a yellow vest and have loud pipes in hopes that people will see you, see #1
1.) Assume the bastards will never see you.
