Title: Motorcycle truisms
Post by TheSneeze on 07/16/23 at 09:31:32

I found this posted on a facebook page, and thought it was worth sharing!

Motorcycle truisms
If two air gauges agree, they are both wrong.
Shaft drives are less trouble than chain drives, until they aren’t.
The center of a tire ruins a perfectly good motorcycle tire.
Motorcycles choose the most awkward times to fall over.
It’s best to keep summer air in the tires.
Rule number one; look where you want to go. Rule number two; reread rule number one.
June bugs aim for the head.
Slow for school zones, loose gravel, speed traps, and vultures feeding on road kill.
Expensive modifications reduce the sale value of the motorcycle.
New tires just feel good.
That first ride in the spring is going to be wobbly.
Motorcycles make you invisible.
Loud bikes are just loud.
Helmet shields are best cleaned with dish soap, warm water, and finger tips. Dry with microfiber or a dish towel from IKEA. Paper products scratch plastic. Yes, even Kleenex, if paper is only available, blot gently.
You can fall asleep on a motorcycle.
When traveling east; start late and ride till dark but watch for deer.
When traveling west; start early and stop early, but watch for deer.
Watch for deer.
Choose able travel companions that can be a bit crusty.
Let the kid sit on your bike.

Hay , I saw this one in action today :

Slow for school zones, loose gravel, speed traps, and vultures feeding on road kill.

On the way home from Church today there were three vultures feeding on road kill in the middle of a 1.5 lane blacktop country road. All three of them JUST HAD TOO get one last bite before jumping out of my way ... ALL THREE OF THEM barely make it away clean as I rode in the mist of them taking off. I was expecting the "Clunk" of a 10 pound bird at 30 mph. but all four of us got lucky ! :)

"Ummm.. no, not like hitting a pigeon. Quite a bit larger, and a whole lot uglier. This group was having an armadillo road kill breakfast. Saw them as I came over a rise. Hit the horn, tapped the brakes, hit the bird that was a bit slow in backing off the dinner table. A thump and a cloud of feathers. Pulled over to check for bird bits and only found that feather in the kick stand springs."

A friend of mine had one hit him in the chest.

He said it stuck so badly it almost made him sick!

He had to ride straight home and clean up.
