Murphy\'s Laws of Motorcycling
1 A motorcycle cannot fall over without an audience.
2 The odds of a motorcycle falling over are directly proportional to the size of the audience and of the owner's ego. Newness and cost of the bike are contributing factors.
3 Motorcycles are to yellow bugs what aircraft carriers once were to Kamikaze pilots.
4 You will not feel the need to go to the restroom until after you have put on your rainsuit or leathers.
5 The fact that your keys are still in your pants pocket willl only become apparent after you have put on your gloves.
6 Quick fixes are so named for how long they stay fixed.
7 The only part you really need will also be the only part on permanent backorder.
8 You will never suffer a punctured tyre on the road until you leave the repair kit at home.
9 Nothing is harder to start than a used motorcycle being shown to a prospective buyer.
10 "Universal" accessories are so named because that is where you must search to find the bike they fit.
