Are you the superstitious kind???



Superstitions!! trust me are part of almost everybody's daily activity... and bikers are no exception...

Some do a chota special "Pooja" before taking their steeds out of garage...

Some do it while taxing to the "Runway", some do it before "Take Off"...For some it is at the temple/church/mosue/gurudwara or other religious place nearest to their home...

CAT: A very key component of many superstitions

Some turn their bike/car off and wait for someone else to cross the road after a CAT has zipped across...

some riders wear their right gloves first (though wearing left one first comes natural to many, i prefer wearing right first) and the helmet kissed before they wear it....

the list goes on and on, everybody has something or other to believe and follow at different situation...

Lets see how many such superstitions we at xbhp live with and the reason why many of us do it...

So being the starter, let me put my list...

I pray at a junction while riding where we have a church and a mosque facing each other and my bike has the ganesha on speed to complete the triology or "MY three fold protection"

and wear the right glove first, i ride the bike few inches before allowing the pillion to hope on and BTW i dont stop for CAT's and RAT's

ur turn.....

Twice fallen, forever shy

Somehow I always check the brakes after crawling for some initial distance.

Don't know whether its a superstition or else!

i dont go for prayers or anything, but there is a piece of roli ( holy red thread) tied to the rear view mirrors of both my R15 and my ninja by my mom. Whenever that thread goes old, i ask her to change it by tying a new one.
