  2. The problems caused by a single piece of gravel are inversely proportional to the size of the gravel.<\/li>\n
  3. You don’t remember your keys are in your pants pocket until you have your chaps completely on.<\/li>\n
  4. No matter how well you clean all the soap off the rear tire, you will always find the bit that got away, just as you pull a hard left out of the drive.<\/li>\n
  5. Leaves are always wettest on the road where you need to come to a complete stop.<\/li>\n
  6. You ALWAYS remember to put your side stand up before taking off unless someone’s watching<\/li>\n
  7. You always remember to put the sidestand DOWN *before* you get off the bike if you’re trying to look cool when you pull in…<\/li>\n
  8. Horse power tends to corrupt; absolute horse power corrupts absolutely.<\/li>\n
  9. The likelihood of rain is inversely proportional to your confidence that your rainsuit is still in the saddlebags where you left it. — You think.<\/li>\n
  10. There is nothing more satisfying then having a car trying to hit you, and miss.<\/li>\n
  11. You look for at least a half hour for every possible reason why your bike won’t start before finding out that someone flipped your killswitch to “off”.<\/li>\n
  12. Fill what’s empty. Empty what’s full. And scratch where it itches.<\/li>\n
  13. Early icing will only appear on hidden curves.<\/li>\n
  14. Bugs never approach bikes with windshields straight on. They always fly in from the 10 or 2 o’clock position.<\/li>\n
  15. You will encounter a radar trap one turn before you expect it.<\/li>\n
  16. Reserve is most needed 40 miles before the next station.<\/li>\n

  18. Damn! I swear I went further on reserve the last time.<\/li>\n
  19. Whenever you want to show off those fancy new pipes & roar off speed shifting down the highway, you will forget to turn on the gas.<\/li>\n
  20. If it has tits or wheels, it WILL give you trouble.<\/li>\n
  21. Remember, “No good deed goes unpunished”.<\/li>\n
  22. Nothing improves with age.<\/li>\n
  23. If you pack every size of metric, American and Whitworth allen head wrench, you will need a Torx bit. If you pack the Torx bits you will forget the socket wrench.<\/li>\n
  24. Never park your motorcycle between a fire hydrant and a dog.<\/li>\n
  25. A man is only a man, but a good bike is a ride.<\/li>\n
  26. The first thing you do after putting on your rainsuit is lean against the pipes.<\/li>\n
  27. You remember to flip the petcock switch from “reserve” just when you are running out of gas.<\/li>\n
  28. All of the rain that falls on your motorcycle is absorbed into the foam of your seat.<\/li>\n
  29. All motorcycle jackets are designed to “puff up” like a balloon when riding over 45MPH.<\/li>\n
  30. You always remember to remove that disk-lock until your at a rally and everyone\u2019s looking as you suddenly stop and fall down.<\/li>\n
  31. Sand and gravel hauling trucks driving in front of motorcycles never have tarps.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Murphy’s Law of the Open Road:
    \nWhen there is a very long road upon which there is a one-way bridge placed at random, and there are you and
    \ntwo cars on that road, it follows that:
    \n(1) The two cars are going in opposite directions.
    \n(2) They will always meet at the bridge.
    \n(3) You will be in between.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
