Pre-Ride Rituals?
Pre-Ride Rituals?
Bored tonight so I decided to start a new thread.
Just wondering if anyone has something that they always do before getting on their bike? Could be a song you listen to, could be something you need to wipe off each time, something you eat, a prayer you say, etc.?
For me, it's a song. I gotta listen to AC/DC Thunderstruck. Gets my mood up and ready to ride!

Always back my bike out of the garage and start it up outside to warm up. Sit on it and put my shades, helmet, and gloves.....in that order. Push the choke in half way and take off. That's my ritual.

Before I put on my second glove I reach into my pants and pull my ******* up and out of the way. I usually say, "Pick a side boys". Its good for a laugh, but the truth is I hate having it all squeezed while riding. Sorry if its TMI, but the question was asked.

Depends where i am. If there are chicks around, I go through my super-scooter routine--Ape walk up to the bike,throw my long hair back,jump on the fake kickstarter at the same time I hit the starter button,belch,fart,curse,and peel out.
Just kidding--but I always do a "PRW" (post-ride wipedown) when I come back from a ride. Keeps the biotch looking spiffy.
