Your Favorite Motorcycle Quote

[Jon]

kick starting

Don't I know this one! I used to ride a stroked Sportster,kicker only,and it seemed to have a mind of it's own. I could go out and give it a single kick,in the pourin'rain,all by my lonesome,and it'd fire right up,but let there be a crowd...

You have to sneak up on em.

You don't stop riding because you get old
You get old because you stop riding

I'm feeling a little old this morning - guess I'll get my gear on.

In Taos I saw a sticker on the an old cruiser that said "No butt, no putt" . As if you don't put out, you can't get a ride.

Not really a motorcycle quote, but a guy at the Paonia Top o"Rockies rally had a baseball cap on that had in large letters: DAMM.
The small type under it said: Drunks Against Mad Mothers.

When my friends ask my why I don't ride a Harley like everyone else in town, I tell them: Some people like to look good but some of us like to get there.

When God created roads, He painted an invisible line of perfection. Then He created BMW motorcycles to follow it.

Fixed!

If motorcyclists claim to be individuals, why then, do so many of them ride in packs.

A conversation between a local club BMW rider and my friend on a Yamaha FJR 1300...

FJR Rider: those are some cases, referring to the H&B aluminium boxes. What do you keep in them?

BMW Rider: opens one up and pulls out one item at a time showing the FJR rider all the back-up items he carries in case of a breakdown.

FJR Rider: What do I need all that for. I ride a Yamaha.

BMW Rider:

Since I know who the BMW rider was, I did have to chuckle.

Steinbeck

When I was very young and the urge to be someplace else was on my mind, I was assured by mature people that maturity would cure this itch. When years described me as mature, the remedy prescribed was middle age. In middle age I was assured that greater age would calm my fever and now that I am fifty-eight perhaps senility will do the job. Nothing has worked.

I can see by the watch, without taking my hand from the left grip of the cycle, that it is eight thirty in the morning

non-riding buddy of mine, in a bar full of "loud pipes save lives" t-shirts:

"you know, I think bikes are like people - some just go along quietly and are good at pretty much anything, and some make a whole bunch of noise but aren't worth a s**t."

I thought this was here before, but my mother in law got me a t-shirt several years ago:

"You never see a motorcycle parked outside a Psychiatrist's office."

[Le Mans (1971) After an accident where Elga’s boyfriend(?) is whisked away by ambulance.]

Steve McQueen: This wasn’t just a thousand to one shot. This is a professional blood sport, and it can happen to you and then it can happen to you again.

Elga Andersen: When people risk their lives, shouldn’t it be for something very important?

Steve McQueen: It better be.

Elga Andersen: But, what is so important about driving faster than anyone else?

Steve McQueen: A lot of people go through life doing things badly. Racing is important to men who do it well. When you’re racing, it’s life. Anything before or after is just waiting.
