You'll know she loves you if she offers to let you ride her bike. Don't argue with an eighteen wheeler. Don't lean on the horn till you're out of danger. Then blast it for all your worth. Never be ashamed to unlearn an old habit.
Maintenance is as much art as it is science.
A good long ride can clear your mind, restore your faith, and use up alot of gasoline. If the countryside seems boring, stop, get off your bike, and go sit in the ditch long enough to appreciate what was here before the asphalt came. Bikers parked out front mean good chicken-fried steak inside. If you want to complain about the pace being set by the road captain, you better be prepared to lead the group yourself. Grey-haired bikers don't get that way from pure luck.
