You have to love your bike.
This is my bike. There are many like it, but this one is mine.
My bike is my best friend. It is my life. I must master it as I must master my life.
My bike, without me, is useless. Without my bike, I am useless. I must ride my bike true. I must ride better than my opponents who are trying to wear me down. I must overtake him before he overtakes me. I will…
My bike and I know that what count in a race is not the time we spend leading the race, the silence of the drivetrain, nor the color of my socks. We know that it is the winning that count. We will win…
My bike is human, even as I, because it is my life. Thus, I will learn it as a brother. I will learn its weaknesses, its strength, its parts, its accessories, its wheels and its gears. I will keep my bike clean and ready, even as I am clean and ready. We will become part of each other. We will…
Before Merckx, I swear this creed. My bike and I are the defenders of our craft. We are the masters of our kind. We are the true meaning of my life.
So be it, until victory is ours and there are no opponents, but behind us!
I know as well as any of you that I've been checked out lately, kind…

good one and awesome
Excellent and spot on, but I'm not getting one of those hair cuts.
On a side note, sometimes when disciplining my kids I have to severely edit the Lee Ermey-style rant playing in my head before it reaches my vocal cords...
@Ccos
That would be fun. Line 'em up and give 'em some R. Lee Emery..."I bet the best part of you, etc"
What, you shouldn't talk to your kids like that now??
Nice one, Gaff.

One of my bikes has gone to LBS for a repair. I now just look up at an empty space on the garage wall where it hung.
Hours I spend like that, just looking and remembering.....
Perhaps I just need to go for a ride
Well done. For those who haven't seen FMJ please realize this is an adaptation of a quote: "only two things come out of Belgium - beers and queers and you don't look much like a beer to me so that narrows it down!".
As soon as Full Metal Jacket was mentioned I couldn't get the actual quote out of my head. :)
i had these printed up a couple of years ago having messed around with the wording but was never that happy with it
Good news! My wife is getting a horse. Which, as you might understand, means that I can motivate buying yet another bike.
@gaff
A horse! More likely you will never be able to afford anything ever again?
