Nothing very complex.

tahbeihradnd is 'a bird' buried inside 'the' hand thus ' a bird in the hand'
The same treatment for thetbwuosh - 'two' inside 'the bush' is 'two in the bush'
The middle part is different: 'e and mxcxc' or 'e and mc²' which are equals 'e=mc²'
So we have 'A bird in the hand = two in the bush'
which evolves into:
A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.

Thanks! I got most of that except for the e = mc²

Great REBUS but a tricky one!!

Well @JimInOz , you’re sort of on the right track. But with the clues I’ve given, an astute rebus solver (such as you) might be expected to come up with the whole saying. By the way, the person in the clues is not included in the answer, but you’ll need his name. 😁

All I can come up with is:

You'se guys are too much for me.

Probably totally off the ball though.

Let me add my workings for the moment - I think @JimInOz is close, but I'm not seeing the definitive linking. Can see it now.
three u's (agree with @JimInOz as I can't think of another) but could easily have been u u s
Old faithful/cone geyser
Theodore Too/tug
Lawn clippings/ catchings
Fore/for
Daniel Arap Moi/Kenya/statesman moi/me

Use old ..... for a wrap

Can't do any better than Jim.

UUUS geyser too mulch fore moi

Which sounds exactly like Jim's solve to me.

I should be sleeping right now, but I'm at awe at the previous solve, and trying to see the solve on this one too.

Ya'll are on a next level! This is good stuff!

Too easy. I'll leave it to the non-motorcyclists.
😁

BTW, it wasn't an Ariel Squaffer either.

Dang got sidetracked getting a beer, forgot to hit reply and Mike hit it on the head.

Dang is taken so I will go with Darn - just about ready to "go" when the alert came up and I knew my goose was cooked.

I did think about using a Norton, but that would have been too much of a giveaway.

I’ll have to think of something to give the old grey cells a workout.

Another motorcycle theme.

Hopefully a bit harder, this one…

@JimInOz , @TasMike ,@blubarb , youse all put your heads together, and got it. You’ll have to share this award.

UUUUUs = Youse
Old Faithful, Yellowstone = Geyser
Nova Scotia tugboat Theodore Too = Too
Grass clippings = Mulch = Much
Fore = For
Daniel Arap Moi = (French) Moi = Me

Ergo, Youse Guys Are Too Much For Me.

A bit of a poser, but you got it,
