Anybody can jump a motorcycle. The trouble begins when you try to land it.

A motorcycle coming down from 30 feet at 70 mph gives you a terrible jolt.

Those extreme-sports kids today are good, but they have it easy. Try falling off of a motorcycle going 70 or 80 miles per hour on asphalt. Believe me, nothing equals it.

If I'm out trailriding, I have a favorite motorcycle. Riding on the road, I've got a favorite. If I'm jumping, I have a favorite, and if I'm racing, I have a favorite.

You can't say you're going to jump the Grand Canyon and then jump some other canyon.

If you don't know about pain and trouble, you're in sad shape. They make you appreciate life.
