Don't ride so late into the night that you sleep through the sunrise. Pie and coffee are as important as gasoline. Remember your mistakes as well as your triumphs. Don't sleep where your foot can hit the kickstand. Drink Hard, Ride Fast, Die Young.
Good guys wear black.
When people think you're a rude, crude, scum-sucking cretin, they generally don't ask you stupid questions. It don't take muscle to ride, but it takes grace to ride well. There's more to ridin a motorcycle than holdin' on to handlebars and keepin' yer feet on the pegs. Despite everything else, there's still some kind of kinship between a real badass biker and a cop on a hog. Don't mess with the locals.
