Sharing Biking Tips

[T.W.R]

learn to cadence brake when you need to wipe of speed in a hurry! (don't just grab a handful of anchor)
use a small length of garden hose to lift out/and replace spark plugs and start them in their threads
don't piss into the wind

Rules of Riding a Motorcycle

1. Owning a motorcycle is mandatory. It’s a man thing.

2. Having legs long enough to touch the ground is optional. For those that can’t a centre stand is mandatory.

3. . Always try to keep the number of arrivals you make equal to the number of departures you've made

4. When you wind the throttle on the corners come up quicker and the probability of survival is inversely proportional to the speed of arrival. High speed of arrival, small probability of survival and vice versa.

5. The use of curbs in cornering is not recommended.

6. After cornering too fast try to low side the bike even though high siding has a better view and being somewhere the bike isn’t is a good idea.

7. Informing your pillion you are about to pop a wheelie is optional unless of course you wish to live with them, in which case it’s mandatory.

8. It’s always a good idea to keep the front wheel in front of the back when moving forwards.

9. If all you can see is ground that's going round and round and all you can hear is screaming from your pillion, things are not at all as they should be.

10. The only time you have too much fuel is when your bike is on fire.

11. Riding isn’t dangerous, crashing is.

12. A good ride is one that you walk away from.

13. A great ride is one where you can use the bike again.

14. Shorts, t-shirt, thongs and cool sunnies are mandatory riding equipment.

15. Leathers and a helmet are for girls so therefore optional however they conviently hold all the pieces together after crashing.

16. Trees, lightpoles and other imovable objects are to be avoided at all times.

17. Cage drivers don’t hate you, they just love to run over you.

18. Wear bright clothing at all times so that the cages can see what they are hitting.



19. . In the ongoing battle between objects made of aluminum going a 180 miles per hour and the ground going zero miles per hour, the ground has yet to lose.

20. Learn from the mistakes of others. You won't live long enough to make all of them yourself

21. Never let a motorcycle take you somewhere your brain didn't get to five minutes earlier.

22. You start with a bag full of luck and an empty bag of experience. The trick is to fill the bag of experience before you empty the bag of luck

23. Remember, gravity is not just a good idea. It's the law. And it's not subject to repeal.

24. The three most useless things to a motorcyclist are the distance you’ve come, the road behind you, and a tenth of a second ago.
