TO MAKE YOU SMILE, LAUGH AND THINK
Memes. They’re everywhere. There’s certainly no shortage of them in our two wheel-themed online forums. So…are these actually the five best motorcycle memes of 2022? Not by any official accounting. Let’s just call them five that really resonated with me for various reasons.
#5 • A Bad Day On The Bike
An oldie, but goodie. And yes, it could just as easily have said a bad day of golf, fishing, hunting, drinking, shopping…whatever. But here in our motorcycling community this is the version that certainly hits home.
#4 • Loud Pipes
This one shows up in a number of searches for best motorcycle memes. For good reason. It’s true and it’s funny. And it has been experienced by all of us who have ridden this kind of machine.
#3 • What or Why?
Heading towards the serious side for this one. I touched upon this topic in my Amazon #1 Best-selling Road Travel Book Road Work: Images and Insights of a Modern Day Explorer. In the book I stated “It’s not about the bike, it’s about the ride”. I’ve heard all the clichés and read all of the bumper stickers pledging a biker’s loyalty to one brand or another. Bottom line? It’s just a machine. It’s a possession. It’s just “stuff”.
This is coming from a guy who has ridden pretty much everything over four decades…British bikes, a Japanese bike, a custom hard tail chopper, six different Harley-Davidson models and, currently, a BMW sport-touring model. If you’re just in this game to pose as a make-believe outlaw or a MotoGP racer on warm, sunny weekends; before climbing back into your luxury sedan for the ride to work on Monday morning, you probably won’t understand (or enjoy) this one. But if you’re authentic, and riding is truly your passion…a big part of what you’re all about…you get it. No matter what brand/style you happen to be in the saddle of.
#2 • One Of The Best Motorcycle Memes Ever!
Even though that’s me, in my aging body, on the bike in this picture; I can’t take credit for this one. I stole this meme from someone else (It is my understanding that meme theft is one of the most rampant crimes in America today). I loved this one so much, I just had to put my picture on it before broadcasting it all over cyberspace.
On a more serious note, elsewhere on the blog we have discussed some of the particular challenges that older riders face. Check out the features Tips For Older Riders and Your Best Miles Are Ahead for some great information and inspiration.
#1 • If I Have To Explain…
We’ve had this discussion before. Check out the Why Do You Ride? Feature here on the blog. We all ride for so many different reasons. All personal. All are valid. It’s tough to explain to someone that doesn’t ride. If one picture is truly worth a thousand words, this is probably the best I can come to explaining.
Hope you all enjoyed this little post about the best motorcycle memes. I’ll be looking for your memes out there on social media; compiling next year’s installment. Who knows? Maybe yours will be featured.
