road prayer

[palindromer]

This is my bike.
There are many like it, but this one is mine.
My bike is my best friend.
It is my life.
I must master it, as I must master my life.
I will learn its weaknesses, its strength, its parts, its frame, its wheelsets and cassette.
I will ever guard it against the ravages of weather and damage as I will ever guard my legs, my arms, my eyes and my heart against damage. I will keep my bike clean and ready.
Without me, my bike is useless.
Without my bike, I am useless.
We will become part of each other.
Amen

>>класс!))
Пасиб. Посмотрел Full Metal Jacket и вот вдохновился.
Нашел оригинал (http://www.usmcpress.com/heritage/marine_corps_rifleman's_creed.htm), чуть поправил и сократил.

Каждый выезд не обязательно, но хотя бы разок после покупки или во время планового ТО, не повредит :)

Главное, чтобы не было как в песне Manowar:

...and the bike out in the yard, well, that's my wife
