Motorcycle-Journal.com presents...

Real American Bikers
Real American Biiiikerrrs!

Today we salute you, Mr. I Don't Need No Stinking Manuals
Mr. I Don't Need No Stinking Manuals!

Only a true mastermind like you can ride so far without hearing all those rusted parts falling completely off your bike.
My pipes are really loud!

You give us hope that even with 42,000 miles on that chain, 9500 on that oil, and cords showing through that tire tread, we can still ride on, oblivious.
Never look back now!

Thanks to you, we can head out without ever thinking twice about getting our fingers greasy.
I'm not getting greasy!

So here's to you, Mr. I Don't Need No Stinking Manuals, because without you, we might still be back in our garages, making our motorcycles safe for the roadway.

Mr. I Don't Need No Stinking Manualllllllllls

Got the manual when I went in for the 500 mile service, then I think I got the Cymers online. Great Post.

I've read my owner's manual in English and German (I received 2 copies when I bought the bike). And I've got the workshop manual in both languages too.

That's pretty good Clint. I guess those rumors about you not having a sense of humor are false.

I think that there's something wrong with mine. I must have been a bit tipsy while reading it...

Not always. In some cases, it stands for "frustrating", "fix-it", "funky" or "fallacy"

I havent read the entire manual, but I keep it in my bags and peruse it as necessary.

In the spirit of the thread, I photoshopped the MSF logo into the attached file.
Feel free to use it, but please dont lie.

I haven't taken the MSF course (assuming that that is a trademark), but I have taken 4 motorcycle safety courses in the past 4 years, each lead by a team of driving instructors and sponsored by my insurance company. I'll use your icon anyway ...

Great idea, and I'm not going to lie just because you said not to.
