Tips for Bikers

Posted on Netriders, but thought I would share as I rather liked it:

TIPS FOR BIKERS


** Judgment **
Good judgment comes from experience. Unfortunately, experience usually comes from bad judgment.

** 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.

** Fuel **
The ONLY time you have too much fuel is when you're on fire.

** Too Slowly **
No one has ever hit something too slowly.

** Crashes **
A good crash is one you can walk away from. A great crash is one you can walk away from and use the bike again.

** Getting Hit **
They cannot hit you if you're not there.

** Side Stands **
If you ride away with your side stand out then your next left turn is guaranteed to be a jarring experience.

** 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.

** Speed **
Remember speed 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.

** Other Objects **
In the ongoing battle between objects made of metal, rubber and plastic doing lots of miles per hour, and the ground doing zero miles per hour, the ground has never lost. Same goes for cars, trucks, walls and most animals.

 

Sort of a 'confucious says' about riding style tips. Quite good some of them.
