Slowlycatchymonkey Posted August 10, 2022 Share Posted August 10, 2022 I was never fussed about cluttering my bike by attaching things to them and I'm not superstitious but over the years I've been given a some and am quite fond of them. The 'Pop' Evil Knievel on my Himalayan is my favourite, it makes me laugh to think of the fear my riding would induce in him and he cant close his eyes plus the lump the Himalayan is couldn't be further away from producing a stunt.. unless its gravel related So what you got or does it make you wince when you see a bikes lovely lines wrecked by attached daftness. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yen_powell Posted August 10, 2022 Share Posted August 10, 2022 My 'luck' is on my key ring. Various things added, a couple of coins with holes in the middle from various holidays, my dog's address tag from about 1982ish when I took him to the vet for the last time (Mister, a rescue collie), a Motorhead (the group)Â metal tag, no idea where I got that. This is why the main bunch has to have the bike or car key attached for easy separation of I wouldn't be able to turn the handlebars/steering wheel. I used to have a bit of red plastic car tail light that ended up in the fins/spark plug area of my GPz750 when a car drove out of control directly at me at about 40mph. I was waiting at a mini roundabout so was stationary, he'd just clipped another speeding car which had sent him my way. Just as I thought I was going to die, he buried his bonnet and most of his engine into a very tall lamp column directly in front of me and I found myself showered by bits of car and street lamp lens. It was on the key ringh for a few years then must have broken and fallen off. Â 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you believe in things you cant see based on a emotion then thats all superstition is - a belief based on a feeling. Don't get me wrong Im not particularly superstitious myself I just think the 'if I cant see it I don't believe it' doesnt apply to a lot of things. Especially humans and their beliefs which are usually illogical captain. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
