MOPED RIDERS CREED •I ride because it is fun. •I ride because I enjoy the freedom I feel from being exposed to the elements, and the vulnerability to the danger that is intrinsic to riding. •I do not ride because it is fashionable to do so. •I ride my moped, not wear it. My moped is not a symbol of status. It exists simply for me and me alone. •My moped is not a toy. It is an extension of my being, and I will treat it accordingly, with the same respect as I have for myself. •I strive to understand the inner-workings of my moped, from the most basic to the most complex. •I will learn everything I can about my moped, so that I am reliant upon no one but myself for its health and well being. •I strive to constantly better my skill of control over my moped. I will learn its limits, and use my skill to become one with my moped so that we may keep each other alive. I am the master, it is the servant. Working together in harmony, we will become an invincible team. •I do not fear death. I will, however, do all possible to avoid death prematurely. Fear is the enemy, not death. Fear on the highway leads to death, therefore I will not let fear be my master. I will master it. •My mopeds will outlive me. Therefore, they are my legacy. I will care for them for future peders to cherish as I have cherished them, whoever they may be. •I do not ride to gain attention, respect, or fear from those that do NOT ride, nor do I wish to intimidate or annoy them. For those that do not know me, all I wish from them is to ignore me. For those that desire to know me, I will share with them the truth of myself, so that they might understand me and not fear others like me. •I will never be the aggressor on the highway. However, should others mess with me, their aggression will be dealt with in as severe manner as I can cast upon them. •I will show respect to other riders more experienced or knowledgeable than I am. I will learn from them all I can. However, if my respect is not acknowledged or appreciated, it will end. •I will not show disrespect to other riders less experienced or knowledgeable than I am. I will teach them what I can. However, if they show me disrespect, they will be slapped with great vengeance upon thee. •It will be my task to mentor new riders, that so desire, into the lifestyle of the rider, so that the breed shall continue. I shall instruct them, as I have been instructed by those before me. I shall preserve and honor traditions of riders before me, and I will pass them on unaltered. •I will not judge other riders on their choice of moped, their appearance, or their profession. I will judge them only on their conduct as riders. I am proud of my accomplishments as a rider, though I will not flaunt them to others. If they ask, I will share them. •I will stand ready to help any other moped that truly needs my help. •I will never ask another rider to do for me what I can do for myself. •I am not a part-time rider. I am a rider when, and where ever I go. I am proud to be a rider, and hide my chosen lifestyle from no one. I ride because I love freedom, independence, and the movement of the ground beneath me. But most of all, I ride to better understand myself, my moped, the lands in which I ride, and to seek out and know other riders like myself. •Yea, thought I ride through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy pipe and thy motor they comfort me. •You can have my moped when your pry it from my cold dead crotch. •This is thy creed and I vow to swarm and destroy.
