Ever had that feeling that you SHOULDN"T ride?
 

I had that feeling this morning when I got up. No warm fuzzies for riding so I drove the Suburban to work.

Ride in was uneventful but the drama was on the way home. Some landscaper had dropped a bunch of small sticks/tree debris on a blind corner and I had a deer in my lane as I rounded a downhill left. The sticks would have been a "pucker factor" since they were thru the whole corner.

Looks like I found a good time to listen to myself :lol:

Jeff

couple of times. i usually ignore it though

yes... several times... once was the day I went down... it was just a feeling... nothing more

I usually ignore it too. But for some reason I listened today.

But ........ maybe if I rode today the sticks wouldn't have been a problem or maybe the deer wouldn't have been there :idk:

i do get that feeling, and i usually changes my route.

Ive stayed off a couple of times because of the feeling but Ive also ignored it a few times.

i believe that sometimes your mental state creates the situation. i tend to get into a very zen-like state on the bike. pure focus, constant scan, instant reaction

I usually am too... but the combo of 3000 miles in 15 days, mind worried about other things, and a bit of "I got this" attitude... mixed with a couple seconds of being too relaxed... and I'm bikeless.

my feeling was more about the other crap i was thinking about... and just carried over into feelings about riding that day... especially as I was supposed to be riding 1100 miles.

showing off for 15 year old chicks...

dude... she could drive... so she was at least 16 I think... but she was wearing this low cut shirt... I could even see her training bra as I was reaching 1 Oclock... :lol:

apparently you haven't heard... I can't see shit unless it's attached when I'm at work

well then you'll have something to laugh your balls off at later lol.


ahh well i'll attach, im not satan

:lol:

I'm like that when I'm in traffic and or Riding 5 MPH Over the Suggested Speed Limit ;)

When Im on a Road with Little to no traffic and I'm Crusing I relax "A Tad" Never enough to put myself at risk of not being able to react quick enough.

I've had a Feeling of Maybe I should Take it easy today and just ride the bike not beat the balls off it...and Those are the days I pass every cop on duty...Dunno its weird...When I'm All out Powershifting at 16 thousand RPMS I dont see anyone...When Im riding like Mrs Daisy I pass all the Cops...Weird.

1100 Miles is just downright Bananas...But Perky 16 Year old Titties are Just Downright Perfect

I Mean..... :whistle:

Trust your gut. Safer that way.

:iagree: When I get a bad feeling and ignore it, something usually ends up happening, either to myself or to others on the ride...I learned to pay attention to it long ago, and mention it to my fellows, we all ride a bit more careful then, and we all come home safe...

No I've never had that feeling. :idk:

I've had it, and not ridden because of it. Usually it's just something like I didn't get enough sleep, or I notice that my balance is off or I'm dropping things, or my concentration is drifting. I have way too much into it to risk thousands of dollars- and my LIFE!

Unfortunately, the one time I've been down, I didn't get that feeling. Little bit of nerves, but not that "Something is going to go wrong" feeling.

heh when i lowsided i "knew" that i had gone a gear too far accelerating and it panicked me into fucking up the braking. never again, i flow with everything now. you can ask sixxer about the md cruise lulz

Oh yeah... been there... done that.

You mean when you Tried to Superman Your Bike over that Uphill Elevation Change at the crest Part of the Ride?? Lol

I pulled the front wheel up a tad and when I came down and looked ahead I was like...Wow Dave def just Rode the Piss out of his Bike over that Cresting Hill and I thought you were Gonna go down...

Nice Save though :dthumb:

sometimes i usually listen to it.

I have that feeling from time to time...I commute alot so i just focus more and ride through it! Even had a premonition today while pulling on my boots, like a moment of thinking if they would come off when I lowsided in the damp dew covered highway. I rode to work anyways 36 degrees, wet road and al with no trouble. It was slick though.

Ha ha Ebbs i thought about you Monday as I almost 12 oclocked my ass over! I pulled it up like I always do and caught a gust of wind or somethin and hell here it goes...I slammed the throttled and crashed the front wheel down with a thud! Bottomed the forks for certain, jarred my teeth, pulled my undies up my ass...

:lol: well gee thanks... what'd you think... fuck... I almost pulled an ebbs... shit... I'd NEVER live that down :lmao:

Yes I've had that feeling on the track a bunch... you get a little fatigued and make a few small errors... I often pit a couple laps before the end of the session and just chill out.

I've also skipped the last session of a day on occasion.

It's just a track day, no reason to be foolhardy.
