For me its helmets, goggles, earplugs, and bulky clothes.

I usually have all that crap on because of the cold, but the other night (trying out the new front wheel), I went out with none of that crap. Man, I fell in love with riding again! Light jacket (no heavy leather), hair flying in the breeze, listening to the bike's true sound (not muffled with ear plugs), no heavy glasses restricting my view... I'm in love again, haha.

 

I know what you mean, after servicing my scoot I went for a ride to warm it up to recheck levels and such. I did have shades on to keep the crap out of my eyes.

 

Traffic

 

Yep! I'm with you on that one!

 

Precipitation. I can deal with the cold, just add more layers. I hate rain, snow and all that stuff. Unless I'm on the snowmobile, then I just hate rain.

 

Having to be somewhere in a short amount of time. Never liked driving or biking under the gun!

 

Asshats
putzes
Wal-mart parking lots
traffic
inattentive asshats
cellphones, Ipukes....................

 

Crashing.

 

1. traffic
2. cold, when I'm prepared for it
3. slick stuff - snow, ice, oil, hot tar
4. high winds
5. speed limits
6. flat states - Illinois, Kansas...

That would account for your eyes on the avatar.
