One of the most memorable quotes I have ever heard (and actually remembered) I got from a fellow high school student fourty some years ago. Rolling in to his and his girl friends camp site about 6 am on my motorcycle (after all night of doing things my parents would not have approved of), I had noticed for some time that his Honda 450 had fork extensions. Back in the days before excessive litigation, they sold these fork extensions for the front forks on bikes that were only held on with two little metric bolts that normally held the front axle clamp. The extensions made the bike look more "chopper" like by cheaply extending the front forks as opposed to actually buying longer front forks. I commented to him "don't you worry about those bolts breaking?". His simple reply was "worry is bad for the health". Made sense to me and I remember that quote to this day when someone talks about worrying. It doesn't seem to do a lot of good. John P.S. The guy is still alive.
