Absolutely. I don't think I can honestly say I do every time I fire it up, but everytime I think of...I'd say 95% of the time.

Notspecifically everytime... but I get into the "frame of mind" that I need to be in to ride and I put the almighty into that processwhile doing so. [sm=grinangel.gif]

I can honestly say I do as I ride. Combined long talk and prayer to the head honcho

Nope,
Had an aircraft commander once that told me he will not fly with a crew that prays. He said “I want my crew to fear death, so they will accomplish amazing feats to prevent their carcasses from obtaining room temperature”. “Always fear the machine and the power it wields and take responsibility for your own actions”.

many a long ride has been enjoyed conversing with the high nd mighty one, I particularly like to thank him for a nice day and no rain, but sometimes he still likes to let me know who is in charge.

Not before, but like a couple others said here, during the ride. Just a nice chat between me and Him, thanking Him for everything, the weather, family, the beautiful scenery, trials and tribulations, etc etc... Guess that may be one reason I feel so good when I get home

In the last2 1/2years I have lost my wife, my father, and my favorite twopets, all to death. Also, my lucrative career, and my mother (to dementia).
In between all that, I bought a new Super Glide Custom. Therapy, you know....
Excuse me for being a Godless heathen. Circumstances and all.... Life has kicked my a$$ enough to believe in only what I can see...
Don't you dare pray for me. I just look up, down, right. left, and backwards for all the idiots on the road.
My Godchild and my fiancee make me care enough to do all that looking, so I actually care about coming back home alive. Still, get the hell out of my way, that is not a place anyone wants to be!
