If you push the left bar, the bike goes left.
If you push the right bar, the bike goes right.
That is, unless you keep pushing the right bar all the way, then you will probably go left when the bike swaps ends.
Crashing:
Remember riding isn't inherently dangerous...crashing is.
The Sidelines:
It's always better to be on the sidelines wishing you were on the track than on the track wishing you were on the sidelines.
Fuel:
The ONLY time you have too much fuel is when you're on fire.
The Rear Wheel:
The rear wheel is just a big fan used to keep the rider cool and his butt relaxed. If in doubt... watch. When it locks up or slides out you can actually see the rider start sweating and pucker marks are left on the seat.
Too Slow:
No one has ever hit something too slow.
Rides:
A 'good' ride is one you can walk away from.
A 'great' ride is one you can walk away from and use the bike again.
Getting Hit:
They can't hit you if you're not there.
Mistakes:
Learn from the mistakes of others. You won't live long enough to make all of them yourself.
Traction:
When traction is sparse, the probability of survival is inversely proportional to the angle of lean. Large angle of lean, small probability of survival and vice versa.
Your Brain:
Never let a motorcycle take you somewhere your brain didn't go five seconds earlier.
Fog:
Stay out of fog. The single red taillight you think is another rider ahead that you can catch, might be the red starboard light of a docked boat.
Parking:
Always try to keep the number of times you park the bike equal to the number of times you've ridden it.
Luck & Experience:
You start with a bag full of luck and an empty bag of experience. The trick is to fill the bag of experience before you empty the bag of luck
Mirrors:
If all you can see in your mirrors is the direction you were previously traveling intermingled with sparks, and all you can hear is commotion from the passenger riding pillion; things are not at all as they should be.
Objects in the Road:
If it is too big to eat in one sitting, you probably shouldn't run over it.
Other Objects:
In the ongoing battle between objects made of metal, rubber and plastic going dozens of miles per hour, and the ground going zero miles per hour, the ground has yet to lose. Same holds for cars, trucks, walls and most animals. Draws don't count.
Judgment:
Good judgment comes from experience. Unfortunately, experience usually comes from bad judgment.
Going Forward:
It's always a good idea to keep the headlight end going forward as much as possible.
Looking:
Keep looking around. There's always something you've missed.
Laws:
Remember, gravity and centrifugal force are not just good ideas. They are laws not subject to appeal.
and
have a nice day...
