Default Anyone else superstitious?

Get a bad premonition and don't ride that day? A couple weeks ago I had a bad feeling I shouldn't ride, that someone was going to pull out in front of me. I rode anyways but man did I have the jitters. Doesn't happen often fortunately, but once in awhile I get this feeling I shouldn't ride and sometimes I heed it.

While never getting a premonition BEFORE riding, I've gotten them WHILE riding, and have either slowed down until the "feeling" passed, or pulled over for a while. Too many times in my life when I haven't gone with my gut feelings, instinct or what have you, I've regretted it.

No, I don't get premonitions before riding. But like Perch said, at times something will tell me to slow down and I did and encountered traffic stopped around a curve or something covering the road. Strange!

I don't like green bikes...does that count? I suppose it does. I dunno if this **** is superstition anyhows, I know some people that have scared the bejeezus out of me with their "premonitions", enough to make me wonder.

I heard it was bad luck to be superstitious, so I'm not taking any chances.

Not in regards to riding, but I am big time when it comes to sports.

I don't get premonitions. Wish I would have though before I married my now ex wife.
