Life is like riding a motorcycle......

[The Cyclops]

Life is like riding a motorcycle.......now you finish it.

I like analogies, it helps me get my point across when I am struggling for the words (often). I have used a couple about riding before trying to make a point. One was my wife when she was stressed at work and trying to do too much and spinning her wheels (not the analogy ). I told her life is like riding a dirt bike, when it gets rough, sometimes you need to slow down in order to go faster. I went on to explain how being smooth made you go faster and didn't wear you out.

Another time a friend was going through some major life changes, (divorce) and was thinking about moving, changing careers, etc. I told them life was like riding a bike, when you hit a spot that is really slick and nasty, you don't try to speed up, slow down, or change directions, just hang loose, try to have a little momentum, and just ease through.

Anyone else have any?
