Freakin' hippy
Nah, when I finally found a pen, Jesus's hands had been nailed to a big ol' cross. I asked him to hold the pen in his mouth but he was too busy screaming "ELOI, ELOI, LAMA SABACHTHANI?"Originally Posted by vifferman
I told him to HTFU. Blaady noisy bastard. He soon shut up though, some solider speared him in the guts.
The guy beside him, Brian I think his name was, he signed it though, along with those thieves.

I'm a Cancerian, and we like to be prepared for anything, so I have a multitude of small bits and bobs that will fit under my seat, pen and paper, first aid kit, torch, my bike manual, pocket knife, bike lock and a thing to put my stand on if the ground's soft. In my jacket I carry spare change, spare house key, spare key to my lock, tissues, earplugs etc. But as far as lucky charms etc go, I always wear a bone carving necklace that was given to me when I was 16 that has a Saint Christopher attached to it, always wear the best gear I can afford and a Helmet on my head, I figure "what more can you do", aside from drive a car or wrap yourself in cotton wool!
Yeah, hubby is cancer and he is the same: always prepared!
I don't really believe in luck as I think we all make our own! But saying this I respect anyone who believes in a token helping them. Whatever makes you happy is fine by me...
As an aries, I've got a hard head anyway and so have never managed to break anything (yet!), no matter how hard I try.

Jesus, however, was a Capricorn. Apparently.

For whom the bell tolls
I had one, was an american one dollar coin given to me by my uncle. I lost it. Went out riding the next weekend and crashed my bike.

where opinion holds more weight than fact.
It's better to not pass and know that you could have than to pass and find out that you can't. Wait for the straight.
Wherever I may roam
Bummer man.Bet you went looking pretty hard for the coin after that aye?

That sounds to me alarmingly like an addiction. If you never carried any of them, the bad luck demons wouldn't know what to hit you with.I think my eagerness to carry a plethora of doodads, whatchamacallits, doohickeys, gee-gaws, gimballs and other gadgetry is my lucky charm! Never leave home without them ... same old story, if you don't bring it on the one ride - you do need it!
More to the point, and this applies to the good luck charms of a less practical nature too (or even more), is that most of the bad luck from not carrying them is probably caused by the worry about not carrying them. Avoid them deliberately, and it isn't a problem.

I have a Dolphin velcro'ed to "Roxanne's" instrument panel. Don't know whether I would call it a "good-luck charm", but have had no accidents in 80,000km of riding "her" (not slowly ether). Just like ta have my self chosen "Spirit-animal" riding with me really.
Yes, I too (as most that have ridden with me know) carry all sorts of tools, nuts and bolts when riding. This has helped more than myself on many occasions riding.

Ive got a Harley Davidson key ring that was given to me by my uncle after he returned from the harley 100th anniversary "ride home" Always had it with my keys while riding and have never binned since ive had it. *touch wood*
Though i must admit, a harley keychain cant be very good for luck in regards to bike reliability.

I'd rather have a good solid bike than than a hand grenade, brother.Though i must admit, a harley keychain cant be very good for luck in regards to bike reliability.
That aside, I take a helmet and gloves whenever I ride. That seems to have worked for me so far.

whenever I go for a ride I ALWAYS take my motorbike with me....y'know....for luck
I also find I wear out my boots much faster when I don't.

I think good luck medallions/charms/whatever are an affront to rational thought and science. But that's just me.

True, but perhaps having something special makes you feel more comfortable and as a result you may ride better because you are more at ease.I think good luck medallions/charms/whatever are an affront to rational thought and science. But that's just me.
