The Biker's Creed

[Donor]

This is my motorcycle.

There are many like it, but this one is MINE.

My motorcycle is my best friend. It is my life.

I must master it as I must master my life.

My motorcycle without me is useless. Without my motorcycle, I am useless.

I must ride my motorcycle true.

I must ride straighter than cage drivers who are trying to kill me.

I must out run him before he splats me. I will...

My motorcycle and myself know that what counts in riding is not the petrol we burn,

the noise of our exhausts, nor the smoke we make.

We know it is the kilometers that count. We will ride many kilometers...

My motorcycle is human, even as I, because it is my life.

Thus, I will learn it as a brother.

I will learn its weaknesses, its strengths, its parts, its accessories,
its quirks, and its top speed.

I will ever guard it against the ravages of weather and damage.

I will keep my motorcycle clean and ready, even as I am clean and ready.

We will become part of each other. We will...

Before God I swear this creed.

My motorcycle and myself are the defenders of my country.

We are the masters of the roads.

We are the saviors of my life.

So be it, until there is no enemy, but an empty tank.

The very 1st line is ok..then it started to get a bit 'wishy washy' and then it ended (thankfully)
Someone had a lot of time on their hands and one to many pill.....
Still, i gave me something to do for 60 seconds.............2/10....

errrrrrrrr

I see the direction you're going with the creed and well... it's a tad... over-zealous?

At the risk of heaping flames upon myself... it's just a bike. If my bike and I could defend the country I guess that'd be a good thing... but we can't... and we don't... and I'm not convinced I would if I could...

errr... off to find girly pics

Meah, it's not everyones cuppa... I just REALLY like bastardising that Creed... I mean, all the marines use it for is WAR... and war is BAD!

Whereas, my version is for GOOD.

Ummm... yeah...

Oi! Where's the bit where the Gunny is yelling into your face with spittle :

"You will eat with it, sleep with it, go to the crappa with it!"
"You will know it better then your girlfriend, 2 or 4 legged!"
"If you lose it or damage it, Lord help you for I will have no mercy!"

Uh yeah ... mebbe I shouldn't do that when I'm on the newbie twofiddy rides!

(note to self, my nickname is just that! No need to channel 80's caricatures "And knowing is half the battle!" )

btw, on ya fer taking the time to whittle something away on the old kb for KB!
