Gemütlichkeit is the warm, comfortable feeling
one receives from pleasant surroundings and atmosphere.
I think you will find that when you come here.

Pick of the litter:


Always assume other drivers can't or don't see you.

Drivers making a left turn are the most dangerous.

Rush hour drivers all feel that their time is more important than your life.

Basically, assume that all drivers are out on the road trying to kill you. Submitted for your consideration--Rep. Bill Janklow of South Dakota!

Never ride when you are too tired, hungry, or thirsty. You can pay attention or you can pay an undertaker.

Never argue with an 18-wheeler, especially around interstate on ramps.

Never be too proud to take a motorcycle training course.

Drivers talking on cell phones are just as dangerous as drunk drivers.

Never outrun your headlight. Deer and other animals will always insist on the right of way.

Don't just dress for the ride; dress for the fall.

*Not on the list but always on my mind:

Beware the minivan with the soccer mom. The driver has too many distractions to notice a motorcycle.
