For some time I have been collecting maxims.  Maxims are defined as…

1 : a general truth, fundamental principle, or rule of conduct.

2 : a proverbial saying.

Over the next couple of posts I will share a few maxims I have collected regarding motorcycles/riding etc.  These aren’t original to me, and frankly I don’t know who said most of them, but if I know the author I will give the proper credit. I also realize my list isn’t exhaustive, so I would love to hear some of the ones you have heard.  Feel free to chime in, should be fun!

1. ATGATT

2. You go where you look, so look where you’re going!

3. When in doubt, gas it!

4. You can always corner harder than you believe.

5. The only time you have too much gas is when you’re on fire.

6. You meet the nicest people on a Honda.

7. If your brakes fail it’s OK to hit a moose!

8. Never test ride a bike you can’t afford.

9. Keep the rubber side down and the shiny side up.

10. SIPDE (Scan, Identify, Predict, Decide, Execute)

11. I ain’t lost if I still have gas.

12. Don’t sweat the petty things and don’t pet the sweaty things!

13. Everything is a road.
