22 years ago, I was sitting with my Grandfather on his deathbed, he was a proud respectful man who never cussed/swore and always took stuff in his stride, was polite to others, more so when they were trying to get a rise out of him, this I never understood, so I asked why he never let these people get under his skin . . .his reply stunned me and it was passed down to him by his father back in the 1940's and it was;
In this life never, never let anyone else's Sh-- become your own!
I did not know what to say, I had never heard him swear in his life, but more so this statement resonated (<Possible spelling mistake) with me so much that I never forgot it.
Your bike, your choice, no one else's business.
Be prepared as you will get comments like that on here too. You know more than I that this **** is everywhere.
I live my bike life via my signature at the bottom of this post, your enjoyment is not decided by anyone else.
