Anyone here have secret rituals, habits or other stupid abbreviations before riding out? And feeling bad when you cant keep up With it?
Mine is putting up my gear: right-left sock, right-left kneebrace, right-left pantsleeve, right-left boot. Any other sequence disturbs me.

For the moment i still have to kick my bike to start her up and the first kick i just take it easy and don't kick it hard.
What else... i like to stretch... mmm nothing more i think
The Shop
Jesus I'm a mess.......... Sadly, there's more.
Right glove first.
Before EFI, check petcock about 800 times on the gate.
Never ride on my birthday.
Oh, and if I know for a fact that the ride in question will be my last on that bike before getting a new one, I don’t go. Wadded myself on the last ride of my 94 CR, got to stare at my nicely equipped and shiny-new 96 250 for 12 weeks in a cast...never again lol.
Check goggles in mirror for straightness as final step before I roll to track
Always fill/refill fuel on right side of bike
Never wear blue gear
Drop a new helmet
Guaranteed yard sale.
Pit Row
Famous last words
Biggest is don't ever race in brand new gear, it has to be practiced in at least once. EVERY time I have worn new gear, I have had some sort of bad luck with crashing or bike issues. I've tried work-arounds like washing the gear before the race to "wash the bad luck away" still ended up throwing away a moto. I've officially given in, and am done racing in new gear.
I actually do put my gear on in the exact same sequence every time I ride but that is more so I don't forget something.
Some black is ok but not majority black.
For some reason whenever I had the 17 on my bike I’d grab holeshots, I’m not superstitious or a believer in any of that, but needless to say I stuck with the 17 and dropped the other number lol
