| Good biking advice..........
> Counter Steering:
> If you push the left bar, the bike goes left.
> If you push the right bar, the bike goes right.
> That is, unless you keep pushing the right bar
> all the way, then you will probably go left
> while the bike swaps ends.
>
> Crashing:
> Remember riding isn't inherently dangerous...
> crashing is.
>
> The Sidelines:
> It's always better to be on the sidelines wishing
> you were on the track than on the track wishing
> you were on the sidelines.
>
> Fuel:
> The ONLY time you have too much fuel is when
> you're on fire.
>
> The Rear Wheel:
> The rear wheel is just a big fan used to keep the
> rider cool and his butt relaxed. If in doubt...
> watch. When it locks up or slides out you can
> actually see the rider start sweating and pucker
> marks appear on the seat.
>
> Too Slow:
> No one has ever hit something too slow.
>
> Rides:
> A 'good' ride is one you can walk away from.
> A 'great' ride is one you can walk away from and
> use the bike again.
>
> Getting Hit:
> They can't hit you if you're not there.
>
> Mistakes:
> Learn from the mistakes of others. You won't
> live long enough to make all of them yourself.
>
> Traction:
> When traction is sparse, the probability of
> survival is inversely proportional to the angle
> of lean. Large angle of lean, small probability
> of survival and vice versa.
>
> Your Brain:
> Never let a motorcycle take you somewhere your
> brain didn't go five seconds earlier.
>
> Fog:
> Stay out of fog. The single red taillight you
> think is another rider ahead that you can catch,
> might be the red starboard light of a docked boat.
>
> Parking:
> Always try to keep the number of times you park
> the bike equal to the number of times you've ridden it.
>
> Luck & Experience:
> You start with a bag full of luck and an empty
> bag of experience. The trick is to fill the bag
> of experience before you empty the bag of luck
>
> Mirrors:
> If all you can see in your mirrors is the direction
> you were previously traveling intermingled with sparks,
> and all you can hear is commotion from the passenger
> riding pillion; things are not at all as they should be.
>
> Other Objects:
> In the ongoing battle between objects made of metal,
> rubber and plastic going dozens of miles per hour,
> and the ground going zero miles per hour, the ground
> has yet to lose. Same holds for cars, trucks, walls
> and most animals. Draws don't count.
>
> Judgment:
> Good judgment comes from experience. Unfortunately,
> experience usually comes from bad judgment.
>
> Going Forward:
> It's always a good idea to keep the headlight end
> going forward as much as possible.
>
> Looking:
> Keep looking around. There's always something you've
> missed.
>
> Laws:
> Remember, gravity and centrifugal force are not just
> good ideas. They're laws not subject to repeal.  |
