Gwen wouldn't think twice about taking this road.<\/strong><\/p><\/div>\n

If you’ve been reading this blog you know that I end each post with a “Biker Quote for Today.” I gather these quotes from a lot of places. Some I just run across; others I find by searching. One of my most fertile places to search is the discussions on Adventure Riders<\/a>, or ADV for short.<\/p>\n

More than most motorcycle forums, the ADV folks really get into putting cool, funny, interesting remarks in their signatures. Anytime I’m on the site I keep my eyes open to see what gems I can find.<\/p>\n

One such gem was the quote I used on Oct. 22, at the end of my “Hoping For Warm Hands In Winter Riding<\/a>” post. It read, “There\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s no adventure in turning around. \u00e2\u20ac\u201d Shoganai”<\/p>\n

Well guess who I heard from: Gwen Phillips (aka Shoganai).<\/p>\n

Gwen said she had been searching on Google “for an old thread I started on an old forum years ago” and lo and behold, “I was stunned to find something I said to Jim aka Drif10 this year when he came to visit our home.” So she was tickled and wrote that she was honored to be quoted.<\/p>\n

And actually, I had heard first from Drif10. He noted in regard to Gwen’s quote that, “And she isn’t kidding about that quote, either. She’ll take a road bike places that make me think twice about taking my dirt bike into.”<\/p>\n

Good for you Gwen.<\/p>\n

This is actually the second time I’ve heard from someone I quoted. Believe me, I really enjoy getting these emails. And I really enjoy the quotes. Some day I’m going to put together a book with the quotes and pictures that match the quotes, more or less. Really, I am. I’ve already got part of it done. But at this rate it will be a few more years before I finish it. I guarantee that when it’s ready you’ll hear about it here.<\/p>\n
