Do you have a nice quote about motorcycling? Post it here (no rubbish or derogatory crap please).



Sometimes it takes a whole tankful of fuel before you can think straight.

My mind starts to clear after half a tank!

There are many paths to the top of the mountain.....but we all need to find our own way!

When was the last time you just got up and went for a drive? Not to anywhere not for anything, just for drive. You see, motorcyclists do it all the time, so why don't human beings? Jeremy Clarkson- Top Gear
For the modern man who lives in the city, riding a bike might be one of the only ways to escape the humdrum monotony. To take off and ride. To be both at one with nature and one with the bike. To feel masculine. Adam Piggott

Choppers are to motorcycling as World Championship Wrestling is to sport.

"I try to have a different relationship with the bike. I don't give it a name, but I always speak with it. I don't know if the other riders do the same. This is not only a piece of metal - there is a soul. The bike talks back too. But not with a voice, with the components" Valentino Rossi

Panniers can never hold everything you want, but they can hold everything you need.

I remember an interview with Barry Sheene in the 70's when he was still racing & the interviewer while pointing to the rear "ducktail" on his Suzuki said "what does the seat do?"
Barry straight up said "stops my arse from scraping on the back wheel"
Just stunned silence followed
