Hmmm..been thinking about posting on this thread for some time. 

My "quotes of enlightenment" usually tend to follow Buddhist teachings I've followed over the years. "Enlightenment" in this case referring to an awareness that transcends..or goes beyond the mundane world we usually take for granted..assume to be "real".

My contribution to this exercise: The past is a distorted remembrance of what was..the future an imagined version of what may or may not happen; reality exists and develops from our experience of what is happening right here and now.

Was feeling that some here may get this..some not..but thanks for reading..

If you take care of it.
What do you have to do?
Lot’s of things. You’ve been watching me.
Will you show me all of them?
Sure.
Is it hard?
Not if you have the right attitudes. It’s having the right attitudes that’s hard.

Hmmm..been thinking about posting on this for some time.  Always seems I'll be considered too weird or just plain different than what most thinking seems to follow here.  So..what the hello..

My "quotes of enlightenment" usually tend to follow the Buddhist teachings I've followed for the past 40+ years. "Enlightenment" in this case referring to an awareness that transcends..or goes beyond the mundane world we usually take for granted..assume to be "real".

Anyway..my contribution to this exercise is: The past is a distorted remembrance of what was..the future is an imagined version of what could or could not happen; the only true reality exists and develops from our experience of what is happening right here and now.

Was feeling that some here may get this..some not..but I love all you guys and gals regardless..and for putting up with this old Honda fart's comments over the years..

Naw, just nevermind.   :) You gotta have a thick skin to hang with riders anyway, but you need a thick skin AND enough wisdom to look waaaay back at a couple or three decades ago and that frame of mind if you want to talk with vintage folks with vintage machines. Seems I forgot about that last part when I took offense at the belittling of my gender.
I don't think most of you really mean it anyway. The same ones of you willing to offer a little advice for my 650 are many of the same ones making it sound like indoor plumbing precludes riding ability.

So here's mine:

"Good girls sit. Bad bytches ride."

People who suffer from depression live in the past, which does not exist anymore.
People who suffer from anxiety live in the future, which might not exist ever.
People who live in the moment, live.

My favorite from an old boss of mine would say this as I was working on a project and about to do something wrong and I was convinced I was doing the right thing.  Every time he said it, I knew I was had.
He would just say  "Believe me now or believe me later.  It's up to you." 
"Sure, if you don't want that bike in your backyard, I guess I'll take it."  "I'll probably just scrap it......"
