Afterall I'd rather be out on my bike thinking about religion than sitting in church thinking about my bike.
I'm more road orientated than dirt but let's think about the 10 commandments of motorcycling.....
1. Thou shall let no other activity, hobby, or sport come before riding motorcycles.
2. Thou shall not make any graven images of other activities, hobbies, or sports including fishing. and especially golf.
3. Thou shall not take the name, or brand, of any motorcycle in vain.
4. Honor your valuable riding time as it is darn near holy. Respect it and cherish it accoudingly.
5. Thou shall not kill thyself or others while riding. I have made this crystal clear in previous articles. My mother will hound me about it for my next three lifetimes.
6. Honor thy mechanic and thy dealership.
7. Thou shall not lie about how much you paid for your motorcycle or even more importantl about how much you sold it for later. I will also throw in lying about how fast it will go , how far it will travel on a tank of gas, etc.
8.Thou shall not steal anything from another biker, especially cherished riding time.
9. Thou shall not cheat on your motorcycle by riding a (gulp) bicycle! The good Lord would not have killed all those dinosaurs and made fossil fuel for our motorcycles to have us squander it away by riding a bicycle.
10. Thou shall not covet another person's motorcycle.
I have studied the Bible and the theology behind Christianity for many years. I have been to many churches. I have walked the depth and the breadth of the religion and, as a result of this, I have a lot of bullshit to scrape off the bottom of my shoes. ~Ziploc Surprise
