Superstition

A stranger who cares enough to come over and bless the bikes of a group of riders? That's just too special for words!
When riding in groups, we will circle and pray before we start our ride.

Superstition

I guess the closest thing to a superstition I have is my Gremlin Bells. I have 2, one my friend gave me and 1 my wife gave me.

I really felt bad for that girl as you know she lost a lot of skin. There are several things that I do before I leave on a ride: find my extra key and have it in my pocket, put a helmet on (wife's first job as a nurse was in a surgical ward filled with wrecked motorcyclist's) and pray for safety.

I still can't understand why they released sport bikes for the street other than $$$ as they aren't meant to go slow.

:) I always wear my helmet and also do a little prayer for a safe and accident free ride.

I have seen the video before and it still makes me sick to think of the pain this girl went throught because of her jerk of a boyfriend. I have three great daugthers and the one rule they know is that they do not ride on grotch rockets. I think they should only be for a single rider. as for things I do before a ride is say a prayer I am not supertitish.
ride safe
