    When not to ride?

    So, I got up this morning to enjoy my day off and get out on 2 for a while.

    While fixing my daughter breakfast, I dropped a raw egg on the floor.

    Sittin down to eat my breakfast, I dropped my glass of grape juice. It went all over me, the floor, the counter, etc.

    I just went out to get my bike out of the garage and I noticed a dandelion in my grass. While removing it, and a couple of it's friends, I managed to stab my finger with the dandelion removal tool. The bleeding has about stopped.

    Should I forget about riding a motorcycle today? Sometimes I just get the feeling that it is not the day to be on a motorcycle.

    That's a bit like the theory of selecting an Alaskan bush pilot: Since bush pilots have a 1 in 20 or so chance of crashing on a given flight, always choose one that has just crashed. That way, they should be good for 19 flights before the next crash.

    Actually, it might be fun to take your bike and go blow past a photo radar van a few times.

    You could also view the incidents as, "Ok, now that I've got all those mishaps out of the way, I can go ride now!"

    I'm not sure if that's good or bad. Anyway, it's all in good fun - now that I'm safe in my chair in front of my computer!

    Anyway, it's starting to rain now.

    Yeah, I think so. To quote myself, riding in the rain is about as much fun as camping in a tent in the rain. I'll pass.

    Just because you are clumsy does not mean you should not ride.
