All this "Over the Hill" "ageing biker" Bullshit got me thinking.
Physical youth is irreplaceable, there's a limit to how much you can hold
back the clock but the mind can stay fresh and age to me is a state of mind.
I've met People with less years who seem older and vice versa.
One thing time does bring though is wisdom, experience and the ability to
raise a wry smile when you see someone less experienced ignore good advice.
So in the spiirt of spreading knowledge here's some stuff I've learned so
far. It's not all original but somethings are worth remembering when you
hear them from others. Feel free to spread your own wisdom. There's so
little of it about.
If you judge people on first impressions, sometimes you will be right......
but mostly you will be wrong.
Learn from other people's mistakes, it's usually less expensive and less
painful.
People will appreciate it if YOU are the one who asks the stupid question
they wanted to ask.
With some people only the body ages, the mind remains young. This is a both
a blessing and a curse.
As you age you can still drink as much, the recovery just takes longer.
There are people you will love, people you will like, people you will
tolerate and those you will have little time for. Reserve hate for as few as
possible.
When I was 18 I thought my Dad was the biggest fool on the planet. By the
time I was 23, I was amazed how much he'd learnt in 5 years.
You will only truly understand why your parents behave like parents when you
have children.
If a dog jumps into a tank of shit, remember what wet dogs do before you
rescue it.
Each generation should work hard to understand the other.
"Binge Drinking" is not new. It's only a new phrase for what oldies called
getting pished.
Don't let others decide who you should be friends with. Make your own mind
up.
You don't have to see real friends every day for them to remain best mates.
Laxatives and sneezing powder are a dangerous combination.
People change.
Scars fade as time goes by, as does the memory of how they happened.
If you're upside down in a rolled car, do not undo your seatbelt without
bracing against the ceiling.
You may have your heart broken.... but only if you're lucky enough to have
been in love.
Fluorescent orange clothing and headlights on are no guarantee that a taxi
driver will see you on your motorcycle.
A well designed bathroom will allow you to sit on the toilet while being
sick in the sink
Never let the truth get in the way of a good story.

A really well designed bathroom lets you set on the crapper with your leg in
a cast.

Nope but I can remember when I did have. I try not to do that anymore.
Dale R And Donna has a real good point. I can remember a plumber asking; "
How did you brake that flange?"

Before removing the bleed screw on the forks of an air-ride FL, let
the air out of the system first.

Never press the starter button on a bike while someone else is priming
the oil pump outlet with a turkey baster.
