Have you ever had that bad feeling

**FROSTY:Me** · 12th February 2006, 20:01

You're on the bike. There's something wrong--something you just can't put you finger on. The feeling gets stronger and stronger.
So you stop. No real reason to stop.
Ever had this happen??
Freaky aye??

I had this happen a couple of times on the way home after night shift. I finally worked out that it was a combination of being over-tired, cold tyres on a cold road and less than perfect front tyre pressure.

Huh, explain more, the only reason i stop is for gas or if i crash.

I find i need i piss when that feeling happens, and putting ya finger on it is easier when you're not riding...........

Yep. Going up the Rimutakas on the way to Tauranga in Octobr 2003, I pulled over into a layby on a blind corer, just as one of those massive quarry dump trucks came round the corner using both lanes. The front right bumper missed me by 6 inches and I was parked off the road. I have no idea why I stopped. The only thing I can think of is that my sub-concious saw the truck coming down the hill further up the road and just took over at the right moment, as my concious brain hadn't registered it.

Give the bike a good look over Frosty, just to be safe.
Edit- Check the fuel tank very carrrrrrrrrefully. There should be some sort of flamable liquid inside. Use a ciggy lighter to illuminate the cavity.

Yeah I used to stop for no apparent reason when it rained.
Was riding an SD900 Ducati at the time,I sold it an it hasn't happened since.
Spooky as man!!

Not during but sometimes I get bad vibes before a ride - sometimes I take note and take it easy or a different route, sometimes I ignore it. I've had that sort of feeling doing other stuff before, maybe sometimes your subconcious registers stuff your normal brain doesn't or maybe I'm just fucked up and paranoid.............

From what I've read on here lately, any minute now one of the resident hard men will pipe up with a story about running from the cops and how if you stop you're a no-dick

Yeah... Well, it's happened to me, I've stopped before, then got freaked out about sitting on my bike under the stars in the middle of the night in the middle of frecking nowhere, so got going.

I put it down to a long day, the long ride down from Thames that night and the 20 cups of coffee may have had something to do with it.

It was good to get home... Caffeine induced heebee jeebies...

Sedge.

Years ago when I was driving home from parties I would imagine a werewolf was running along beside the car and used to freak me out and wouldnt look out the side window lol and speed up to get away from it lol..... just lately when being riding the bike late at night and are in the right frame of mind I bloody started imagining this bloody werewolf again and there is no protection from werewolves on a bike.... was waiting for the big claws or teeth to sink into my back lol....heh I think too much
