Riding to work doesn't make work any better, it just makes getting there better. Riding to work demands all my attention, therefore I don't have time to think about the B/S going on there.

Rememnber to maintain a "High Visual Horizon" Don't get fixated on the car in front of you or the jerk that just cut you off. Keeping your eye down the road helps eliminate the need for last second emergency maneuvers.

Sex on a moving motorcycle is tricky.

If the weather man says it won't rain until after your trip it will start raining the minute you leave the drive and rain for the full duration.

A motorcycle cover makes a great tent, especially if you have a tall sissybar and windshield.

It is absolutely possible to fall asleep while riding, but not recommended.

Locktite EVERYTHING!

Plastic gets brittle at minus 5deg.

A saddle that feels good is way more important than one that looks cool.

Never get in a hurry. Rushed decisions and moving faster than your comfortable pace for any reason will lead to bad things

Always look for a way out, whether stopped at a light or cruising at 60mph with other vehicles

Always enjoy the ride, you only live once
