Biking Superstitions
Who's got'em?
I refuse to wear my Superman tee when going out on the bike. I think doing so would be tempting fate. And ironic headlines.

Re: Biking Superstitions
I am usually tucked away nicely to the right. However when im out on the bike i tuck to the left as the extra weight on the right makes my already sheoit right hand cornering even more unstable.
Will try just laying it on the tank today to see if that helps. |

Re: Biking Superstitions
I never say "bye" when I go out, always "see you later."

Re: Biking Superstitions
Always wear respectable undies - lovely female doctors work in hospitals....
 Always wear my watch for some reason.

Re: Biking Superstitions
Don't ride your bike solo with the pillion pegs down - very bad luck.

Re: Biking Superstitions
OMG now im worried because I dont do anything in particular.... And this threads making me paranoid.... But if I start to do something now then that would be doing something I dont normally do and that might be tempting fate.... I think my brain hurts!!!
And I havent got anything to 'tuck away' to either side so maybe thats why im crap cornering to the left and the right
