I was thinking the other day this might be a cool/informative thread. Kinda like a "Hints from Heloise", for bikers, (For those of us old enough to remember that...... if not, Google her, lol!).

I'll start it out with one that I was reminded of again recently from way back.......

"When approaching an unknown or unfamiliar curve in the twisties and there's a buttload of skid marks leading into it, SLOW THE EFF DOWN MAN! There's a good chance it's tighter then it looks!

When you are riding got thirsty and see a bar on the road.....stop....because the next couple of ???miles there couldn't be nothing...

If you see critters standing on the road Slow down … Way down :frown

If you hear something"different" from your motor, don't keep going, thinking "I might have been imagining that." Stop and check it out.

If you missed an exit on the freeway, don't turn but take the next one..

After heavy rains pay attention to gravel washing onto road from driveways!

Log your service dates when you changed oils, tires, batteries, etc. Don't leave it to memory, especially mine.

Even a blank tubular key or every HD tubular key can open your gascap when jou lost yours and have to fuel up your bike.

When you get to the end of your driveway, Ride like every vehicle you encounter will try to run over you. Cuz the Will! Advise from 1965, even more true today.

Buffalo (and other large animals) have the right of way.

Study your bike often. If something looks out of place, missing or loose, fix it before you ride.

I would never leave my service records to your memory! :devil

If you are out riding the rural two lane highways and lose your bearings watch for a water tower and when you spot one off in the distance head for it. A water tower means there is at least a small community there and likely a crossroad(s) with road directional signs.

If a little voice(gut feeling) says don't ride today, don't.
