Father's and motorcycle mentors alike will be passing this on to their protege's for years to come.
"CHAPTER 1: TAKE DELIBERATE TIME TO GEAR UP"
"CHAPTER 2: HAVE ONE GOAL"
"CHAPTER 3: NEVER APOLOGIZE FOR YOUR PRESENCE"
"CHAPTER 4: BE ABSOLUTELY UNRELATIONAL"
"CHAPTER 5: KNOW YOUR MACHINE"
"CHAPTER 6: KNOW THYSELF"
"CHAPTER 7: NEVER SCRATCH AN ITCH"
"Millions of men spend their entire feel-good, temperature-controlled lives locked inside boxes - for hours everyday. True, in their little cars they are comfortable, safe... but totally isolated from nature and the badass sights, sounds, and smells of an urban lifestyle. What a shame. What a damn shame."
"Motorcycling is an art, not a science. Like gunslinging, rock-climbing, and lion-taming. Also like these activities, it requires from each a depth of manliness that is tragically lost on our generation. Hell, it’s lost on this whole society."
"Your motorcycle isn’t a car. Car’s have computers and widgets and safety air bags. They’re engineered to be like loving, mother-robots who only need attention every 10,000 miles. And when they do need attention they tell you with “cute” little light-up symbols.
Your motorcycle is a baby-velociraptor not a robot. And it’s not going to tell you when you when it’s hungry. It’s just going to bite you in the ass."
