Ever had that feeling that you SHOULDN"T ride?

I had that feeling this morning when I got up. No warm fuzzies for riding so I drove the Suburban to work.

Ride in was uneventful but the drama was on the way home. Some landscaper had dropped a bunch of small sticks/tree debris on a blind corner and I had a deer in my lane as I rounded a downhill left. The sticks would have been a "pucker factor" since they were thru the whole corner.

Looks like I found a good time to listen to myself

yes... several times... once was the day I went down... it was just a feeling... nothing more

I usually ignore it too. But for some reason I listened today.

But ........ maybe if I rode today the sticks wouldn't have been a problem or maybe the deer wouldn't have been there
