I got it.Originally posted by leon_nerd View PostI am not superstitious. Just cautious. Well praying before/while/after riding your bike is not a superstition. I generally say a small Thanking prayer once I reach my home back safely. But, yeah cat crossing, right/left glove first etc are. But, again I believe that these are the elements that make us, our thoughts, our self. I am enjoying this thread

I am also NOT superstitious, but just 'cautious'!

Well Im a lot superstitious while riding as well as driving. I try my best to keep Gods as well as the devils pleased .
1 .First of all , I never move my car/bike in backwards direction at the start of the day or a journey. I just move the vehicle in forwards direction for a few inches and then move out on the parking lot in reverse if required. Learnt this from my dad , he says , "never start going backwards" .
2. I always honk a couple of times whenever i see a temple at a start of ghat .
3. Kissing the handle bar/steering wheel whenever getting on a national/state highway.
And of course praying , but that i guess is "shradha" rather than "andh-shradha"

dad makes sure that the vehicles are moved front atleast few inches from stand still(parking) and then Reverse(if required). Be it Car or bikes, he stands there next to it and make sure i do it that way

If i think of this... i dont think i have ever taken my bike forward before taking it out from parking....ever......
I dont bother about cats/dogs/rats/ crossing but be carefull around them as i do want to run over them.
I never do any right glove 1st thingie, or kiss my helmet or pray... But i do have a small picture of Ganesha on both my bikes. I do that only because initially my mom wanted me to have that, but i realized one thing, i had 2 falls from my bike before that....after the sticker, None...
Now putting that photo gives me a good feel so i do it... Call it superstition/blind faith or anything else....

Respect the nature and it will respect you back.....
Cheers!!!!

I dont know if this is superstition, but I have always made it a practise to wear the same shirt before I put on my riding gear, in almost all my trips!" I'd rather be hated for who I am, than loved for who I am not" - Kurt Cobain

Not sure if this falls under this category. But I feel good and presume my trip would be safe when i see 'expecting moms' cross my bike (or coming in front of me) when I am about to start my bike. Heard it from my elders

Coming to think of it, I do have a few superstitions too-not the black cat types, but yeah this is what I could think of:
1. All the vehicles that came home have had their pujas performed at Hanuman temple in Punjagutta.
Earlier I used to think we will get many vehicles if we go to the same place, now I just go there coz I feel that is the best place to take our new vehicle.
2. All the vehicles have a Ganesh idol/sticker or some form of Ganesha near the controls.
Taking parents' blessings from parents/God etc. is a daily practice¬ just before going on a long ride in my case!Quench my thirst with gasoline!Comment
