I ride because it is fun. I ride because i enjoy the freedom i feel from being exposed to the elements, and the vulnerability to the danger that is intrinsic to riding.

I do not ride because it is fashionable to do so.

I ride my machine not wear it. My machine is not a symbol of status. It exists simply for me and me alone.

My machine is not a toy. it is an extension of my being, and I will treat it accordingly, with the same respect as i have for myself.

I strive to understand the inner workings of my machine, from the most basic to the most complex.I learn everything i can about my machine, so that i am reliant upon no one but myself for its health and well-being.

I strive to constantly better my skills of control over my machine. I will learn its limits, and use my skill to become one with my machine so that we may keep eachother alive. I am the master it is the servent. Working together in harmony, we will become an invincible team.

I do not fear death. I will however, do all possible to avoid death prematurely. Fear is the enemy, not death. Fear on the road leads to death, therefore i will not let fear be my master. I will master it.

My machine will outlive me. therefore, they are my legacy. I will care for them for future bikers to cherish as i have cherished them whoever they may be.

I do not ride to gain attention, respect, or fear from those who do NOT ride, nor do i wish to intimidate or annoy them. For those that do not know me, all i wish from them is to ignore me. For those that desire to know me, I will share with them the truth of myself, so that they might understand me and not fear others like me.

I will never be the aggressor on the road. However, should others fuck with me, their aggression WILL be dealt with in as severe manner as i can cast upon them.

I will show respect to other bikers more experienced or knowledgeable than i am. I will learn from them all i can. However, if my respect is not acknowledged or appreciated, it will end.

I will not show disrespect to other bikers less experienced or knowledgeable than i am. I will teach them what i can. However, if they show me disrespect, they will be bitch slapped.

I will stand ready to help other bikers that truly needs my help. I will never ask another biker to do for me what i can do for myself. I am not a part time biker. I am a biker when, and where-ever i go. I am proud to be a biker, and hide my chosen lifestyle from no one. I ride because i love freedom, independence, and the movement of the ground beneath me. But most of all, i ride to better understand myself, my machine, the lands in which i ride, and to seek out and know other bikers like myself.
