Have you ever heard the voice?

I used to hear that voice but I dumped my ex and now I never hear it!!!!! My fiance rides so now the voice keeps saying "When do I get my own bike?" I don't know how much longer I can hold out.

Well seems like around here ..that if you buy her own bike . Two things happen. One is you get some nookie and the second is you get to ride more ...though I think there might be some read between the line about "riding more" not sure it's the bike or

I absolutely agree that if you are having arguments with a "voice", you should park the bike. Riding motorcycles takes concentration on what is going on all around you, not what is going on inside your flippin' helmet. And if you hear a "voice" instead of the engine, or that mechanical sound, or that approaching truck behind you at the stop light, you will certainly be in trouble.
Freakish, supernatural experiences foretelling the future are most often self actualized. Read Psycho-Cybernetics. If you visualize a highside, you will succeed in realizing your vision. I prefer to imagine nice smooth entries, graceful transitions and an excellent drive, which are good in motorcycling, too.

I never hear any voice but I ride within my comfort zone no matter what. Last year when I got hit by a car on the way home from work I didn't have any inkling that I was going to get nailed by a car. I was riding carefully and paying attention. I heard a voice after that. It said "No way I'm commuting on a motorcycle anymore! Too many crazy distracted drivers these days." During track days I sometimes get myself back on planet Earth by asking myself if I "win" by pushing past my comfort zone to pass someone then what do I win? Well I don't win ANYTHING. It's great to pass people and feel fast..even if the lap times suck...as long as I am riding a comfortable pace. One other thing...if I am feeling tired then I don't ride a motorcycle.

The "voice" is called self preservation and its real!
Wish I listened to it sooner. Would have saved me 2 spills.
My new rule is:
1) Don't ride if you're not feeling good.
2) Never take the bike out to run errands (go to stores, etc..)
or ride while preoccupied.
3) Only ride Sundays in the early mornings before the church crowd
and foggies pull out of the woodwork. (unfortunately, this is the rule I
break too often because of weather)

ok that is fair you may not have heard the voice but maybe the driver of that car did and he chose to ignore it as most drivers do. Maybe they should read about the voice and start listening. Motorcycles rule the world they keep forgetting that.

I agree with MOST of what you said and alot of things could just simply be a cowinkeedink but somethings are unexplainable

Like take my crash situation. I knew ahead of time that I will crash and I fullfill that part without the help from anything else.

The my lastest incident with the voice was running over something on the road that punctured a hole the size of a pencil. Sure it could just be law of cowinkeedink but it happen on Capital Expressway..very head traffic at all time. Why did a car just kick the debri somewhere else other than THAT lane position on that particular lane out of 4 lane I could have chosed? Hmmmm..then the cops where I have not seen in my area and on the good luck side my buddy ROB was driving by at the moment also...Hmmmmm...Somethings I just say a "thank You" and let it be sometimes.

I heard it last night. I was talking to a friend online & she wanted me to ride to the Ocean City/shore area to hang out. On the ride down I could see lightning wayyy off in the distance. So I get down there and she wanted to go out for a ride, we end up at some friends house and hang out. When I left it was starting to drizzle, 10 minutes later I'm riding in a total downpour on Michelin Pilot Race tires (that are pretty much at the end of their lifespan) and its freezing. To top it off I didnt have a breath guard in my helmet and it was impossible to see. I rode like that for almost an hour and when i got home I promptly put the bike away and collapsed on my bed.

You know the one when you throw your leg over the bike and the voice says if you hit that starter and go you are going to face plant into a wall. I only ask because I have heard the voice a couple times and the first time I didnt listen and face planted into a large dirt wall, and the second occured today. So today I listened. But it sucks since it is about 75 outside sunny and no clouds. If you have heard the voice did you listen or did you chance it and what happened if you did.</TD></TR></TABLE>

IMO, that's weird!!

IMO again, if I heard voices, I might just give my bikes away and seek out a shrink. Plus there is no machoism here neither.

Now, if you are talking about times when you are not on your game, or up to snuff, and thinking about pushing it, and decide not to, then that's another matter.

There have been times where I have rode 200 miles just to get to a series of technical curves, only to find out that I am not on my game or up to par, and quickly canceled out any ideas of railing or banging the twistees. I have been to the track, and seen where I am really off, and would cut sessions short. These are not any strange voices coming from afar, this is "common sense" telling me that I can't ride at this pace safely at this time. If you are talking about that kind of reasoning, I wouldn't call them "voices", I would call/label them "common sense".. The same kind of "common sense" that would tell you not to ride in bad conditions.

Voices or some kind of superstition about riding, IMO is WEIRD.

Just my

No chance, that would be the limit of the voice I would have to tell it to go straight to hell. The once in a while hey you dont need to be riding today is fine however Sell. Not even and option. I hear the voice comes out more when there is a full moon too? could be just a rumor though.
