That little voice within

[slofox]

The little voice within was twice on my side yesterday.......

Took my first pootle through Scotsman's Valley Road.....which turns into Bell Road at the Eastern end. Bell road is bloody narrow in places. As I approached a narrow right hander with no exit visible, the little voice piped up and said "narrow here, can't see through the corner - watchit!" So I backed off and just as well.....As I came through the corner, there approaching from the opposite direction was a big fat Merc, straddling the centre line (the centre line was under the centre of the car)......if I had been fanging it I would have had trouble avoiding him...so one up to the little voice.
Later, returning towards Hammertown on Holland Road (dead straight and very boring, (of course I wasn't speeding!!!!) I approached the intersection with SH1B, which is stop signed....again the little voice piped up......"Could be a loony coming through that stop sign without stopping....watchit!" So again I backed off and sure enough, just as I approach the intersection a driver of the female species comes barrelling through the stop sign.....she saw me (amazingly enough, the bike was visible for once!) and slammed on the brakes, stopping with half of my lane occupied by her car.......I very politely pointed the phalanges at her and proceeded through.......TWO up to the little voice....

Anyone else have one of these little voices? Very useful......

That they are. Depending on what they are telling you, of course...

[Hitcher]

The little voice in my head usually screams something like "Just fucking cane it, you fat nana!"

[Strang0r]

The little voice in my head is usually drowned out by the sound of my little 250 screaming its nuts off

[pzkpfw]

Mine is usually "tits 'n' ass, tits 'n' ass, tits 'n' ass, oi, you should've been more carefull back there and paid more attention...".

yep the little voice has saved my arse often, both in relation to danger ahead and coppers ahead.

But there is also a little voice that has dropped me into some serious shit

[Ixion]

Never ignore the spidey sense. He knows more than you do.

Yes.
And I listen to them.
Now....

A few years ago, I was on my way to work, and came up behind a slow-moving car, looked like it had just pulled ou from the curb. The windows were covered in dew, and "the little voice" said, "Better tootle him melodiously, in case he hasn't seen you."
Moments laters, he pulled into the curb.
"Oh - he has seen me." So, instead of tootling him, I accelerated past.
And he U-turned into me.
He was just performing his usual morning ritual on auto-pilot, which included driving up the road 50m or so, then cracking a u-turn.

Nice! And that little voice is called "Intelligence"

Errrr yeah....mine says that too at times....like this morning.......when I finally slayed one demon but we won't go in to that in a public forum.....

[sinfull]

My doctor says they will go away if i take my meds ! But then everything is gone !

I just do as they say now !

Anyone want to come have a drink with me ?

[nodrog:Me]

.....Anyone want to come have a drink with me ?

Dinner and a movie?

[breakaway]

Some clueless broad shot through an intersection when it was my green light. I was at the front of the queue and found myself dropping anchor like never before. To my surprise, instead of just gassing it out, she did the same. If I wasn't vigilant with the brakes, I'd have gone over her bonnet for sure.

Dinner and a movie?

Will it be dark ?

Some less broad through an intersec was my green light. I was at front of the queue and found myself dropping anchor To my surprise, instead of just gassing it, she did the same. If I was vigil, I'd have gone over her bonnet for sure.

Mate the voices would have had me do the same !!!! Take the pills bro, i'm telling ya !

[sunhuntin]

im still learning to listen to mine. though i have started second guessing it and ending up quite paranoid instead! makes the morning ride so much more terrifying.
