I have this vintage Harley-Davidson motorcycle jacket. When I put it on, it has this supercool feeling to it.
The fifties were when people started coming down on "juvenile delinquents," "hoodlums," "vandals"--anybody that was young, wore a motorcycle jacket, and didn't act polite around older people.
When you have a transportation system that the price of propellant is essentially negligible something is very wrong. If you look at any other transportation system, a car, a motorcycle, a train, an oil tanker, an airliner, you name it; about a quarter to a third of the operating cost is buying the propellant.
Note to self: Never ride a motorcycle in stilettos and a miniskirt.
I'm one of these guys that just spoils the environment. I like ATVs and snowmobiles. I have a motorcycle up there, and I like cruising through the hills.
I had a terrible motorcycle accident, in San Francisco as matter of fact. Doing a picture called. . . oh, this is terrible. It's a very well-known film and I can't remember the name. That's what happens when you get older. . . I fell off a bridge in San Francisco and was laid up for two years.
It really was a hell of a motorcycle,. . It was arguably the first American motorcycle company, beating Harley by a year or so. Indian was the standard by which everything was gauged.
I know it sounds strange - a blind teenager buzzin' round on a motorcycle - but I liked that; that was me. I had always been nervy, and I always had a lot of faith in my ability not to break my neck.
The motorcycle is a device created by the team of God and Darwin to rid the world of useless young males.
I'm sure that all the drivers and motorcycle police had once been racing drivers and were eager to get back to that profession.
I sailboat raced, I love to go out on my motorcycle alone, but I also love my family dearly. I love that aspect of my life as well.
New rule: every fantasy author who doesn't treat horses like tireless hairy motorcycles automatically gets a Hugo.
Our children tremble in their teen-age cribs, whirling off on a thumb or a motorcycle.
I'd pull my little brother on our motorcycle on an inner tube behind it. We would go fishing, we would hunt some, growing up.
I love motorcycles and riding bikes. Like a lot of riders, I look at a bike like it's an iron horse - a living thing that you have to build a relationship with - and that bike is my horse.
I really love to ride my motorcycle. When I want to just get away and be by myself and clear my head, that's what I do.
My dreams for the future are simple: work, a happy, healthy family, a lovely long motorcycle ride, and continuing the struggle to awaken people to the need for serious human rights reform.
I don't write under the ghost of Faulkner. I live in the same town and find his life and work inspiring, but that's it. I have a motorcycle and tool along the country lanes. I travel at my own speed.
There isn't a lot written about the motorcycle culture.
My mom, my father, my little sisters, and my brother - I don't got that much family. I'm not really a family person. I just do my own thing. But I've just been spending time with my mom, especially since the [September motorcycle] accident happened. I drive all the way down there to Georgia just to check up on her. You just get tired of being that person that you thought you were. I don't feel no different. I see the music, because I made it. I don't really see the fame.
