I'm not crazy Superstitious or anything, but I put my left glove on first, every time i get on the bike. No acco's thus far since I started this charade a few years ago, so who know's, maybe it works!

What about you peeps, any 'stitions you have, like kissing your decals, or a quick hail mary or two before departing?

Not really, I dont see how motorcycle riding is much different to driving a car. Sure, people think its dangerous (and I get a bit hacked off when anyone has a pop at me because I ride one), but tend to forget people crash cars too. Anything on the road is inherently dangerous. So no rituals for me.

Check out the OCD thread in here right now for things us lot do as habit. Laughing

I just bought a gift for my sisters BF, a bell to rid the bike of gremlins. It's for his Harley, apparently Harley riders have been doing this for sometime. I supect its more to do with revenue but it's the thought that counts. You can only buy one of these for a friend, not for yourself. Or that's the idea anyway.

Don't get me wrong, I don't feel vulnerable myself on the bike either. In fact I hate that perception that most people have of bikers with a passion. But on the flip side, when I'm fanging down the freeway, or carving up a backstreet somewhere, I know I can die out here if things go wrong.
