Biker Code

This sums up why I ride and why I enjoy it..

I ride purely, and only, because it is fun.

I ride because I enjoy the freedom I feel from being exposed to the elements
and the vulnerability to the danger that is intrinsic to riding.

I do not ride because it is fashionable to do so.

I ride my machine, not wear it. My machine is not a symbol of status. It
exists simply for me, and me alone. My machine is not a toy. It is an
extension of my being, and I will treat it accordingly, with the same
respect as I have for myself.

I strive to understand the inner-workings of my machine, from the most basic
to the most complex. I will learn everything I can about my machine, so that
I am reliant upon no one but myself for its health and well-being.

I strive to constantly better my skill of control over my machine. I will
learn its limits, and use my skill to become one with my machine so that we
may keep each other alive. I am the master, it is the servant. Working
together in harmony, we will become an invincible team.

I do not fear death. I will, however, do all possible to avoid death
prematurely. Fear is the enemy, not death. Fear on the highway leads to
death, therefore I will not let fear be my master. I will master it.

My machines will outlive me. Therefore, they are my legacy. I will care for
them for future bikers to cherish as I have cherished them, whoever they may
be.

I do not ride to gain attention, respect, or fear from those that do NOT
ride, nor do I wish to intimidate or annoy them. For those that do not know
me, all I wish from them is to ignore me. For those that desire to know me,
I will share with them the truth of myself, so that they might understand me
and not fear others like me.

I will never be the aggressor on the highway. However, should others mess
with me, their aggression will be dealt with in as severe a manner as I can
cast upon them.

I will show respect to other bikers more experienced or knowledgeable than I
am. I will learn from them all I can.

I will not show disrespect to other bikers less experienced or knowledgeable
than I am. I will teach them what I can.

It will be my task to mentor new riders, that so desire, into the lifestyle
of the biker, so that the breed shall continue. I shall instruct them, as I
have been instructed by those before me. I shall preserve and honor
traditions of bikers before me, and I will pass them on unaltered.

I will not judge other bikers on their choice of machine, their appearance,
or their profession. I will judge them only on their conduct as bikers. I am
proud of my accomplishments as a biker, though I will not flaunt them to
others. If they ask, I will share them.

I will stand ready to help any other biker that truly needs my help. I will
never ask another biker to do for me what I can do for myself.

I am not a part-time biker. I am a biker when, and where ever I go. I am
proud to be a biker, and I hide my chosen lifestyle from no one.

I ride because I love freedom, independence, and the movement of the ground
beneath me. But most of all, I ride to better understand myself, my machine,
the lands in which I ride, and to seek out and know other bikers like myself
