Cages.

Cages.

Cops.

Cages.

apart from what has already been mentioned, especially having bees in the helmet.

Following behind dirty vehicles or trucks hauling grass/dirt/gravel where you keep being hit by small particles, so have to put the visor down.

Oil, diesel or gravel on the road

When I'm about to go for a pootle and find that circumstances have conspired to rob me of my planned extravaganza!

Family does that!

What I hate most? Survival Reactions.

I will ride in a storm, through snow, over small unatended children, along footpaths, through allyways.... I just cant stand the survival reactions kicking in when I dont want them to!

I'm with everyone that says "binning it". That is what I hate most about riding. Nothing else is as bad, cos you can ride home if you didn't bin.

As you may have guessed, I binned it the other day.

My zippo going out when lighting a smoke, wearing gloves because it makes it hard to text.

crushing your nuts against the tank while emergency stopping to avoid a cage ...

Loose gravel on corners, gravel roads that have just been graded

**Dooly** · 18th April 2007, 08:09

Strong head winds when on a naked bike trying to push it.

The rest I can live with.

I get concerned when things DON"T rattle...
