Any Superstitious Riders Here?

[billhilly]

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.

/rant? ...

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

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.
