"USE A F*(K!NG TORQUE WRENCH."

Wear black pants and black leather.

You should fry bacon naked. You keep the heat low so you don't get spattered and the bacon cooks more evenly. Just make sure all the curtains are drawn.

Anti-seize will go wherever it wants, but not where you put it...

Always disconnect the battery first if you are trying to use an electric welder to fix something on your bike......or......y ou must leave the battery cover on while doing it......or use a face shield and ear plugs......because as soon as your welding tip touches the bike, they battery will go off like a grenade with acid splash everywhere!

True , although apparently they are big fans of motorcycles , every year at Sturgis a bull or a momma bison takes a bike away from some attendee

Always check that the caliper bolts are tight after you get tires installed on you bike.

I bought a used Convert. and am sure glad I didn't try to ride it 500 miles home that way.

Instead I took it home in the back of my PU.

Never ever answer your wife's question. "Is my sister prettier than me?" Just excuse yourself and walk away.

I don't think the animal in the picture that precedes this is a buffalo.
I think it is a beefalo hybrid.
Now for the advice, do not look into the laser with your remaining eye.

Never pee into the wind....

Caution: If you decide to take the safety off your bear spray canister while camping in the deep woods, try not to grab it at 2:30 am in the tent and squeeze accidentally even for a millisecond, as you might get a nice orange stain on your tent and stand for 1/2 hour washing your eyes out with all of your available water. :)

Never look a mad dog in the eye.

When painting...drink a full beer, don mask, gloves, booties and then decide to go and pee...in that order!! But not into the wind....

Not sure if these are pearls or famous last words...

"Hey, watch this!"

"That ain't going nowhere!"

When getting a shot at the doctor's office. "It doesn't hurt."

Do not look at the English scale while torquing to a metric value.
