When you come to a fork in the road, take it.
Nobody goes there anymore. It's too crowded.

Bikes: It's complicated.
Bicycling is 90% mental and the other half is physical.

I met Yogi when I was a little kid.
He was down at the Grand Union in White Plains plugging Yoo-Hoo and we went down to visit.
It was then that I learned that baseball players, while they look normal on TV, are actually perfectly proportioned 120% human replicants. So big he scared me to death! But I still have his autographed postcard with him slurping a Yoo-Hoo.

i've met a bunch of okie pros, like gold glove yankee, bobby murcer. nice guy. helluva ballplayer.
like yogi, ringo starr is credited with his own 'ringoisms,' like "it's been a hard day's night," "tomorrow never knows," and "eight days a week."

The road was so quiet because it ran between two places nobody had any reason to go to from.

So my face is ugly. So what? I never saw anybody ride with his face.
The ride ain't over till it's over.
