Default Biking Superstitions

Do you have any?

I won't even consider the colour red. All three of my bike crashes have been on red bikes, and my one car crash was in a red car

I also would never get on the bike without Larry..........sad, but true

Anyone else as daft as I am?

I have diagnosed OCD and have to (when I'm just setting off) stand up on the pegs, sit down again, lift my feet off the pegs, back on and then both hands off and back on again, then I'm set.

Pre ride I always turn the key before starting the engine, that's about it.

Dunno why, but every time I see an ambulance I kiss the back of my hand and tap the tank twice for luck. Think I started doing it while I was couriering.

I have a weird one. I always put my right hand glove on first, not much, but always have to do it

If wearing new leathers, boots and helmet, I'm sure to fall off.

I say "See you later" to the cats, before leaving home.
