My Answer To All The HD Threads .... 11 Months ago  


THE MOTORCYCLE CREED

This is my motorcycle. There are many like it, but this one is mine.
My motorcycle is my best friend. It is my life. I must master it as I must master my life.
My motorcycle, without me, is useless. Without my motorcycle, I am useless. I must ride my motorcycle true. I must ride straighter than my enemy who is trying to kill me. I must out ride him before he runs into me. I will...
My motorcycle and myself know that what counts in this war is not the roads we ride, the noise of our burst, nor the smoke we make. We know that it is the ride that counts. We will ride...
My motorcycle is human, even as I, because it is my life. Thus, I will learn it as a brother. I will learn its weaknesses, its strength, its parts, its accessories, its sights and its chrome. I will ever guard it against the ravages of weather and damage as I will ever guard my legs, my arms, my eyes and my heart against damage. I will keep my motorcycle clean and ready. We will become part of each other. We will...
Before God, I swear this creed. My motorcycle and myself are the defenders of my sanity. We are the masters of our enemy. We are the saviors of my life.
So be it, until victory is America's and there is no enemy, but peace!
