If you know the enemy and know yourself you need not fear the results of a hundred battles.
I believe that life is a journey towards God, and that no one has the right to insist that you go a certain road.
If you want total security, go to prison. There you're fed, clothed, given medical care and so on. The only thing lacking... is freedom.

If you think you can do it, you can.
The most important thing is to have a good relationship with the bike... you have to understand what she wants. I think of a motorcycle as a woman, and I know that sounds silly, but it's true.
