Do you have a favorite motorcycle phrase?

[Old Ryder]

After posting one of my favorite phrases on another thread, I got to thinking of all the good ones you guys may have. Maybe this has been done before (I am new and to lazy to do a search) but in my few short weeks there are a lot of new members here that may have something to add. A few of my favorites are:

Doesn't matter what letters are on the tank, it is the same wind in your face.

Soft leather feels real good until you are body surfing on asphalt.

To a biker, a good cup of coffee should resemble what comes out of the crankcase after 8,000 miles.

A good running Harley should sound like it has $1.92 in change in the primary at idle.

You can tell a lot about a biker by the bugs on his helmet.


I have a friend that always departs by saying "Keep the shiney side up" (sorry, I won't say that one")

I will post more as I remember them. What do you have?

[BIGLRY]

I have two faves that I use in my signature.

If your bike leaves you, let it go.
If it comes back, you probably high-sided.

The guy who invented the first wheel was an idiot -
the guy who invented the second one... he was the genius!:301:

[shooter]

My favorite as related to the looks of my M109R is "Don't just Turn Heads , Inflict Whiplash.

[F6B1911]

I kinda like the one ... "4 wheels move the body, but 2 wheels move the soul."

[Deer Slayer]

Ride it like you stole it!:shock:

[bobbyf6b]

Back of tshirt- "If you can read this, the bitch fell off."

[edgeman55]

Heres mine and it's right on the bike for all to see.2408

[Bowhunter1800]

Faster, faster ,faster until the thrill of speed overcomes the fear of death.

[mikey]

" Son, when you lose respect for that thing, that's when it'll get you hurt." - always thought that was good advice, as well as a phrase.

[typhoon186]

"If Harley Davidson made an airplane, would you fly in it""

[seabassmax]

I have a friend that always departs by saying "Keep the shiney side up" (sorry, I won't say that one")



never heard that one, but out here everyone always says before a ride 'rubber side down'

[Sorcerer]

The fun doesn't start until the tires slide.
Life begins at 100.

[austin_tech]

Heres mine and it's right on the bike for all to see.9748

Live to ride
Ride to eat

Someone please explain???

[Bruce B]

I like to recall one of our old skydiving phrases, "Never believe you're so good that you can't die doing this".

[53driver]

An aviation axiom adapted for those who are land-bound:
"Don't let the airplane (or "motorcycle" or even "life") take you where your brain hasn't already been for at least 15 minutes."

Favorite quote describing my idiom:
"We are men of action - lies do not become us."

And finally, if something ain't right, it needs to be "disinfsckulated."

Have a great Friday!
Steve

[Ridlikhel]

Ride Like Hell!

[BBB]

I know it's been used around Harley people, but I like :

If you need to be explained, you wouldn't understand

I wanna say this back to the Harley people (like one of my frends who rides a Street Glide (I traded in my street glide for F6B) who didn't wanna talk to me for awhile after I bought my F6, and when he finally began to talk again, I had to hear Honda and Japanese Jokes (I'm Japanese) for 2 hours! lol).

He will NEVER get to experience what a great machine F6B is until he changes attitudes about motorcycles. But that's his loss, not mine!

Please do not get me wrong: I'm not saying Harley is less of a bike compared to F6B. They are just two different breeds of bikes. I just happened to enjoy riding f6B more than I did my SG.

[Steve 0080]

SIT DOWN,SHUT UP AND HOLD ON.......

[Old Ryder]

I remembered a few more---


A cowboy is always judged by the horse he rides into town. Same with bikers.

Harley Davidson-- Making mechanics out of riders since 1903.

The size of the smile can be directly connect to the right wrist.

Everybody crashes. Some ride again. Some don't. Some Can't. Ride safe!

[XHarley]

Kinda corny but my granddaughter and I sing this part of an old Arlo Guthrie song when we ride:
"I don't want a pickle, I just want to ride my motorcycle"

[Old Ryder]

Kinda corny but my granddaughter and I sing this part of an old Arlo Guthrie song when we ride:

In my club, food joints are ride destinations so often that we eventually ordered "ride to eat, eat to ride" patches.

[Phaedrus]

"Dress for the slide not for the ride"

Ass, Gas or Grass Nobody rides for free!

[53driver]

"Dress for the slide not for the ride"

That's similar to "Don't dress for the weather, dress for the fall."

[edgeman55]

Ah, ok. I thought it might be some obscure Dairy Queen reference. :stirthepot:

Keep stirring-It's my understanding F6B's are not allowed in Dairy Queens.One must be riding a full dress Goldwing to get in.Plus a lot of my buddy's fly there airplanes to eat lunch so riding my bike to eat is really cheap compared to what they pay to fill there wings with avgas.

[imported_NMRed]

Ride carefree and wreckless has long been my favorite.

You never see a motorcycle parked in front of a psychiatrist office.

[TitansFan]

You never see a motorcycle parked in front of a psychiatrist office.

A variation I just saw of that: "If you see a motorcycle parked in front of a psychiatrist's office, you can bet it belongs to the psychiatrist".

And also, Only a motorcyclist understands why dogs stick their heads out car windows.

[Pap]

Never ride faster than your guardian angel can fly.

It's a pretty bike and he is always badmouthing my F6B about rice burner and well you know all the jokes, and when he starts his up it sits there and shakes like crazy. So I call it his $30,000 dollar weight loss machine and told him if he sits on it long enough he should be able to lose 50 pounds.:crackup::crackup:

[unsub]

ride a Harley
ride the best
ride a mile
walk the rest

[Brasco]

If you're riding with someone who wants to shut it down in the rain, just tell 'em "We're not made of sugar. Carry on."

[53driver]

ride a Harley
ride the best
ride a mile
walk the rest

My old gal went over 140 miles yesterday - on her own power! Even 80 in a 65 making glorious noises all the way.
I was dressed in dark blue jeans and a grey "pirate logo" polo shirt, full face helmet, and an air-mesh jacket. No exactly typical....
She started right up at every planned stop.
There were no unplanned stops.

But I think that quote is funny, as I have pushed my '73 Ironhead more than I should have.....

[Hornblower]

From my old off-road racing days..."if you ain't fallin', you ain't ridin'"

[Retired Army]

"If Harley Davidson made an airplane, would you fly in it""

Honda does make an airplane, they are $3.5 million a copy.

[pilotguy299]

Just get on the back, bitch!

[seadog]

Never ride faster than you guardian angel can fly! I try to remember that when I am twisting on the throttle and I have seen God standing by the edge of the road shaking his finger at me on several occasions. Slowing me down, so my guardian angel is able to keep up!
