Default Superstictious

Wife and I were out riding yesterday. On a road we always travel on and there's never any traffic. I looked down briefly to check the speedo, looked up and I was in the oncoming traffic lane and a car was coming...got back on my side but was startled.

After getting home my wife asked where my Gremlin bell was.....It was gone from my bike. it was there before we rode cause I saw it while adding some more bling to the bike.... Got a buddy in Ohio sending me another one..hope it gets here quick!

I don't believe in those stupidstitions.

We have all done what you've described at one time or another .. Has less to do with bells and more to do with being distracted ... It happens!
