Who has riding superstitions & habits?

[Twosixty]

I was watching Closer to the Edge again this weekend and was reminded how many riders and racers have particular habits or superstitions when it comes to riding.

Got me thinking about what I always seem to do pre ride. If the kids are around I make sure I tell them I love them, I always clean my helmet and I never ever wash my number plate.

Anyone else have any riding habits or superstitions?

I always tell the wife I love her, or text her if shes at work and tell her. just in case that statistic is me this time.

oh, and I always, ALWAYS have fun!

glove on left hand first then right hand, hop on the bike from the left hand side (even though my bike doesnt have a side stand).

quick tug on the helmet latch/D shakle when the "check helmet" sign is displayed.

I don't know what happens if I muck up any of the above, but I don't want to find out.

I allways put my right boot on first and right glove on first. Got the number 13 tattooed on my neck for M and luck (hopefully not bad luck) Lol things we do.

No silly heebie-jeebie habits for me, I just make sure my bikes are safe to ride and then go ride.
No time for nancy superstitious rubbish

I always make sure I'm facing the correct way though

...i always put my socks on before I put my boots on, no particular preference if it's my left foot or my right foot first...I am very particular about this...shit, this stuff keeps you alive,man...

I always make sure my radar detector is working before setting off, for safety. Safety of my driver license, that is.

Last thing before setting off is "Sam fucckkkk off".This prick grabs a mouthful of muffler every fucking timeMight look innocent enough but annoying when hes hanging off your exhaust system.

I always put my helmet on with the hole facing forwards so that I can see where I am going. Not killed myself yet so thoroughly recommended.

Seems a bit fussy to me.

A quick wank before leaving the house never goes amiss.

Helmets are for army boys.

[FJRider]

I always make a point of thinking ... of coming home alive.

Some rides take longer to achieve this than others ... but I've succeeded ... so far.
