Bikers say the darnedest things (Photo by Johnathon Evans)

Only a biker knows why a dog sticks his head out the window. That seems an apt title for this series of posts. These are pithy, humorous, or otherwise interesting quotes I've picked up along the way. Here's the latest batch:

• Faster, faster, faster, till the thrill of speed overcomes fear of Death.
• Live to Ride, Hope to Live.
• I like smoke and lightning, heavy metal thunder.
• Young riders pick a destination and go. Old riders pick a direction and go.
• Who cares? I'm riding . . .
• Never try to race an old geezer, he may have one more gear than you.
• Bikes vs. Women: It's always OK to use tie downs on your motorcycle.
• Ride like you own the road...and...someday the road will own you.
• Sleep with one arm through the spokes and keep your pants on.
• If you love your bike and it leaves you and then comes back - you've probably high-sided.
• Now go put some miles on that thing!
• If you ride like there's no tomorrow, there won't be.
• Go fast and aim for where the trees aren't.
• When life throws me a curve I will lean into it!
• Whatever it is, it's better in the wind.
• Ride 'til the horizon is behind ya.
• What does it mean to you? For me, it's something I just do.
• Less talk, more riding.
• People are more violently opposed to fur than leather, because it's easier to harass rich women than bikers.
• We, the few, the proud, the motorcyclists of the world, refuse to sit down in comfort, insulated from the environment, and run the gauntlet of life with a front row seat. And we wouldn't want it any other way.

So this is the sixth installment. You can read the first five here:
