Murphy was a Dirtbiker!
1.) Any part you need will be at the truck, too bad you aren't.
2.) The further you are from your truck the better the chances of a breakdown.
3.) Expensive parts will sacrifice themselves in order to protect a cheaper part. (Trust me on this one, it's happened)
4.) The more important your good start needs to be, more likely your fuel petcock will be shutoff.
5.) Somebody else always points out the fact that your fuel petcock is off.
6.) Anything that can go wrong will...
7.) ...and it will go wrong at the worst possible moment,
8.) ...at the worst possible location.
9.) The less clothing you wear, the colder it gets.
10.) If you waterproof you bike boots, you will have to cross a hip deep creek. (Happened to me too.)
11.) Waterproofed boots are as good at keeping water in as they keep water out.
12.) Downpours usually end when the race is over.
13.) Tiedowns will usually break when you least notice it.
14.) You will develop an itch in a remote location once your hands are covered in sticky foam filter oil.
15.) The chances of you having a really stupid wipeout are related to the amount of spectators. (The odds double if one of them has a camera.)
16.) The truth is the first casualty when telling embarrassing stories.
17.) After surviving a rough rocky section, you will have a flat on the fast open gravel road section.
18.) Your only good spark plug will be fouled.
19.) You're not Superman.
20.) If it's stupid but works it ain't stupid.
21.) Don't look conspicuous, It draws photographers.
22.) When in doubt, gas it. ( It doesn't solve any problems but it sure ends the suspense.)
23.) Never ride with anyone crazier or braver than you!
24.) If your race is going well, you're not on the race course.
25.) No obstacle is easy after the first wave.
26.) The easy way is the same as the long way.
27.) If you're short of everything but adrenaline, you're in a race.
28.) If you secure a position, don't forget to tell the other riders.
29.) Four trax have the right of way.
30.) A friendly race isn't.
31.) An easy Team Pagan race isn't.
32.) No race ready bike has won any beauty pageants.
33.) Broken part math: 1 brake or clutch lever equals an "almost first place".
34.) Things that must be together to work will never be shipped together.
35.) Your brakes will fail as soon as you approach a steep downhill section.
36.) Anything you do will cause you to crash, even doing nothing.
37.) The only thing more dangerous than an inexperienced junior is a vet who forgot his glasses.
38.) Professional riders are predictable, but the race will be full of amateurs.
39.) A 2-hour race is always a 5-hour hellhole.
40.) When the weatherman says that it will be sunny on race day, he or she will be wrong, very very wrong.
41.) The simple things are always hard.
42.) The easy way will always have a tree down on it.
43.) Master's have the right of way.
44.) Don't worry about the bear droppings unless there's a chest protector in there.
45.) The bears usually go for the slower riders here in BC
