before you leave?

[warped one]

As the title suggests.

What do you do before you leave on your bike? weather it be for work or a hoon.

For me it's rub the tank and tell her she a good girl and prey to god i make it home alive.

Cheers

Warped

I tell her, "You better behave yourself or I'll be trading you in for younger model".

You gotta treat 'em mean, to keep 'em keen.

I start it.

It's a machine, not an animal. For once I may even agree with half_lyfe on this point.

I think I may have to go and lie down now.

Like any sane person I...

Start the engine, rev a couple of times and give it a minute to warm up (if from cold). And then go on my way.

A flick of the choke, and a quick kick.

Must confess to the odd 'stroke and pat' just before putting her to bed at night though.....

I have been known to give the tank a pat of appreciation as I run up the drive way after a long ride.
Not much more though

I make sure I've relocked the garage door.

After a long ride it might get a verbal praise, if it's lucky.

Usually do a full and thorough adjust of the crotch, which to others kind of looks like i'm trying to pull my cock off through my leathers.
