A little morbid but what the hell...

Lately I have found myself daydreaming. In my daydream some how or another the thought of me dying in a motorcycle accident keeps coming up. I can picture my parents reaction, I can picture my funeral and all my family and friends. I can picture the riders that only knew me from once or twice seeing me saying stuff like "No way we saw him here yesterday"... Dont know why the thought keeps popping in my head but I havent ridden in 4 days partly cause of it... PS I am being serious!

just take some time away from the bikes, I think that's what you need right now... go do other things you really enjoy, and eventually those daydreams will go away.. hell you get to ride all year round so you can afford to take some time off from the bikes.. hope those thoughts go away soon bro..

like this whole week i have gone to the bike meets and the stunt spot but in a car... I need to snap out of this shit!

I think most of us get "the feeling" from time to time. The feeling that we're about ready to do some asphalt surfing. To ignore those feelings, to me, is stupid. Might be time to get your head back into the safety mode, practice emergency braking skills, evaluate your riding style and make improvements if possible. I don't know you, but I'd hate to hear that you ignored the feeling and wadded it. Ride safe...

Dreams about death don't mean your going to die. It's a subconscience reaction to change. Your not going to die, unless you do some stoopid shiz on the bike. Chill oot.

I had a very bad feeling about a ride is was on once. I bailed to go home after only 100kms. I told the other guys I was riding with how I felt. They supported me when I told them I was leaving. I dont know if any thing would have happened but I,m glad I pulled out to this day.

Happens to me all the time. Sleep it off. If you thinking negatively about life in that manner, stay the **** away from your bike for the time being. the shit aint going no where. Just have fun and think about other things. (future, women, men (if thats your flavor neighbor :lol), any and every thing else but riding.) You can start up your home pottery thing like you always wanted too :crash

beafer you are definately a manlovr...

It'll pass, give it a few days then you'll be back to yourself

I know this feeling, I just had it too, though not with riding, just 'stepping out'. I totally freaked, I could see me son crying all the time for missing me, my wife crying er eyes out. It ain't fun, not at all !! Though I think you should keep on riding, but maybe not in a crazy way. ride normal & safe, don't take any risks. Keep yourselve focussed and try to relax. stay connected to the bike, u don't want to go hating ur bike. It will pass... cliche, but try not to think about it too much, enjoy life and live now. Hope u get control soon

Take a deep breath close your eyes and run into a wall, if it hurts and you don't want to do it again you are operating in a normal manner. I have the odd bad feeling about a ride but I block it and carry on, I feel ok and in control when I'm on the bike, the danger is the worry and daydreaming getting in the way of your concentration... If your mind is elsewhere don't ride.... I know alot of guys that sell there bikes when kids come along....They don't stay off 'em for long though... Chill bro, it'll all come flooding back. :hellobye

thanks guys. The riding safe part is my problem. When i first got a bike I vowed i would always ride safe cause i enjoyed it. But riding safe is no longer enjoyable to me. unless i am trying some "squidly stupid" stand ups in traffic or whatnot riding on two wheels has been less than amusing for me. i rather go park the bike at the beach and look at honeys than take a 300 mile bike trip unless it consists of many high speed runs and stunts. When FastBlueR1 passed i wanted to seel my bikes. i didnt ride for 2 weeks, then got the itch again. I hope this is something similar.

I had a dream last night where John Travolta was trying to kill me. I overheard his plan that he was going to feed me a bunch of ex-lax then shoot me so when I die, I would sh1t myself and be a big embarassment for my family. Ends up that I was hunting him with my .45 and we met up and discussed things out and neither of us died, we just agreed to settle on re-writing the Bible. According to your idea, Moto, does this mean I should avoid John Travolta?

by all means necessary!

I also had the dream where I was falling, but I didn't wake up. I clearly remember hitting the ground face first and feeling the air get forced out of my lungs and hearing my ribs go crunch, and feeling the right side of my face slap against the dirt ground. I couldn't move or talk after that, I just watched people's feet as they ran up to me. I guess I was dead. Wierd.

hmmmm have you seen a dorctor about this?

Go seek some help if it's really bothering you. Visit a psychiatrist, or a hooker :sneaky

:lol No, I avoid the "dorctor" at all times. My wife majored in Psychology and she was interested in my dreams at first, but after about a week she didn't want to hear anymore bcuz they scared her. She says that I'm just plain psycho. :crash

hmmmm i need a wife... lend me yours for a week :lol JK!!!! Hookers sound good enough!

or both.

damn. Lost another loan to weather!

Don't be sad. Three travelling men happened to meet in a bar in Ohio. One man was from Texas, one from Florida and the third was from Minnesota. They got acquainted and started talking about problems with their wives. The fellow from Texas began. "I told my wife clearly that from now on she would have to do all of the cooking. Well, the first day after I told her I saw nothing. The second day I saw nothing, but the third day when I came home the table was set and a wonderful dinner was prepared with wine and even dessert." Then the man from Florida spoke up. "I sat my wife down and told her that from now on she would have to do all the grocery shopping and all the house cleaning. The first day I saw nothing. The second day I saw nothing, but the third day when I came home the whole house was spotless and in the pantry all the shelves were filled with groceries." Next the fellow from Minnesota spoke. He stated that his wife was a born and raised Minnesota girl and that she had lived in Minnesota all of her life. He sat up straight on the bar stool puffed out his chest and said "I gave my wife a very stern look and told her that from now on she would have to do all the cooking, shopping and house cleaning. Well the first day I saw nothing, the second day I saw nothing, but the third day I could see a little bit out of my left eye." You gotta love them Minnesota women! :lol

:lol

Pissed me off because right before I hit the ground, Id wake up and jerk(kick my desk or do a little "ahh!"). Class would pause and look back at me as I wiped the drool off my face, lol. :lol

I know how to solve your problems!!!!!!! Buy yourself a FIDDY!!:lol :lol :epimp

get a steady job before buying a fiddy!

maybe you need to ride some twisties.. all those boring straight roads down in FL probably get your mind thinking of other things.. go ride the Gap and I bet you anything while you're carving through the curves the last thing you'll be able to think about is dying.. you'll be having too much fun using the One for its real purpose! :rock :riding :bow

ummm no more gap for me. i will go to meet the clan but not to ride the gap... Carving what? I SUCK!!!!!! Last time i was there a volvo with a trailer let me pass him and after 4 turns i take a glance back and he was riding my ass cause I was so slow! :lol

I hear ya man... I've had that before.... but what I've been getting for the last few months is a feeling to kill... I can't explain it... I've been buying knives and other weapons for a while to I guess feed my habbit... I cary a knife all the time... I'm freaking out... sometimes I have visions of hurting people... never myself just others that piss me off.... hummm... I would love to kill my boss.... I hate her so much.... I know I will not...but I've thought about it before... she makes me crazy that old stupid B@#$%#@..... it helps to talk about it I guess.

would you rape her before you kill her?

Interesting, what time of the day do you have these visions? ( i.e. Morning, afternoon, night) Not to freak you out or anything, certain cultures around the world believe that when one has dreams such as yours, that the grave is calling out to them. In a way the grave is our final home and resting place. because you lost your friend under tragic circumstances, this could be a relapse of your subconscious guilt, just my two cents.

Originally posted by motopsyko32 would you rape her before you kill her? no way dude she's a 60 year old bag... she is the head of my companies IT department... and she can't tell one PC from another...and I swear she's loosing her memory...:rant I hate that beyyyyotch....:mad: I hope she :fire in hell :machinegu

Usually at night while driving in my car. What subconcious guilt would I have?

Originally posted by killershroomr6 damn, Im staying the hell out of queens! :lol hey man... I'm a really nice guy... it's just my boss... if you worked for a 60 year old physco beyotch... you would go nuts too... I've been at this company for 3 years now and it's like she's getting dumber and dumber... I've had excellent boss in the past. I swear the only thing that keeps me sane is my R1.... the days I would ride to work... she would yell about something and I would not even notice... then I'd go for a long ride out for lunch... it was awesome...it's to bad it's like 18 degrees out here or I'd be out riding today too.

Just about everything that everyone has mentioned on this thread has happened to me. 4I have pictured my own motorcycle fatality, my funeral, kids, all of the that. Up until now I have just never talked about it. I had the "owe shit" I have a wife, kids, and responsibility, so I better not ride thoughts. I have even had intuitions about rides. If you remember I was supposed to be there on the day of FastBlueR1's accident. Prnstar kept calling me and something told me not to go. I was actually in the garage ready to go and something told me not to. when I jumped into bed, I remember my saying, "I thought you were going riding." Shortly thereafter I got the call from prnstar123. These feelings and thoughts always pass and the adrenaline addiction always takes over. We also have a family rule of never trying anything "one last time". Whether we are riding in the dirt, the jetski's, the street bikes, etc. we never do anything one last time. I have seen it end badly too many times. It's better to end a day on a good note. My only suggestion is to follow your gut and you instinct. It works for me. Also, I am willing to bet that your dream and your thoughts have a lot to do with the tramatic experience that you suffered. Look up post tramatic stress disorder and you will have a better idea what I am saying!

Originally posted by yamahog My only suggestion is to follow your gut and you instinct. I totally agree with yamahog, the last time I didn't follow my instinct I landed in the hospital for 2 weeks. And I've been there for the whole dream thing but mine is I go through an intersection and get hit by a semi and everything goes dark, scared the sh!t out of me for the longest time!

Hey all. I don't know anyone here yet but the end of last summer I totalled my R1 after 8000 precious miles. It was after a few of my other friends had wrecked and we all knew that everyone goes down, and we all just hoped that when we went down it wouldn't really be too bad. August 15th 2003 I was trying to teach my buddy to ride turns. I was in a right hand sweeper and accelerating from 100+. I passed my friend at what later he claims at least 120. The road turned sharper and I had never been on the road at the speed I was going then before, and I couldn't compensate for it, I ended up lowsiding the bike into a "sidewalk" median, I let go of the bike before hand and I started sliding with the bike in front of me. I don't remember much except for not being able to feel ANYTHING except for my head. No limbs, nothing. I remember hitting the 8" concrete median and then landing in the on coming traffic lane, and sliding to the outside of it. Thankful no cars were there just some unlikely dual sport rider who putted along right after I opened my eyes. He was stunned, my friend was stunned, and I was so scared to move I didn't. I finally opened my eyes reliazed I could breathe and did what almost every rider would have done, walked over to the bike and started taking pics with my cell phone. Anyway, I had my mom bring my truck cause I couldn't get ahold of anyone else and the way her face looked when see saw my helmet and my right jeans leg torn off was.. Was burned into my retina, and every time I get on a bike (not mine) I can see that face that she made when she saw me. For 4 weeks I sat in my room horified by the image of that bike in the back of my truck. I managed to survive with only a fractured ankle and a lot of road rash on the right side of my body, along with many sore bones for months to come. Ever since then I have been holding back on buying another bike. I probably won't be able to last once I get out of the Air Force and get back to Tampa, but I am sure that the longer I wait hopefully the more I mature and maybe I will be more careful on the new bike. Please be careful on your bikes and try not to do stupid stuff often. I know its hard because I can't really control it, and when I get my new bike I will probably have to let loose often, but at least do what you can. Sorry about the vent, but this shit is still with me and I can remember it like it just happened and I needed to say it I guess. Sorry. 'Carl.

I have bad thoughts sometimes. I have things break sometimes. It helps to ride with a lot of hate in your heart and a grudge against the world. And guns are a plus.

I only have the thoughts of death when shit goes wrong. Ive had a couple instances where while on the bike a situation arises and my life does no flash before my eyes, but instead my own grisly untimely death. In each situation I have seen in a fraction of a second what seems like several minutes worth of info of what will happen if I dont make this corner etc. After these realizations of impending doom I tell myself NO, THIS IS NOT HOW IT WILL END! And I get some insight of what needs to be done to survive, I then execute the insight and have walked away to talk about it. A very big part of these near death experiences was riding too damn fast for the streets. Thats when I bought a track bike, I love that at the track it is a far more controlled environment and that "The fastest street riders" can be humbled to know what the bike is realy capable of. Remember the street is just that a street not a track. Ride safe and keep em rubber side down. BW

Well hear this. I was out with a buddy of mine named Charlie. Very wild cat when it came to sport bikes. Always stunting, hitting high speeds 180 plus. Well he goes fishing off of Miami beach two weeks ago, four guys total. The boat cap-sizes and low and behold there were only 3 vests on board. Two days later "Charlie" floats up on the shore. Call it stupidity, I don't know? What a way to go. When it's your time, whether your on a bike or not, it's your TIME. Man UP Emo... as for Charlie :no RIP Article: 1 DEAD, 1 MISSING AFTER TRIP GOES AWRY Two miles from shore, as their 17-foot fishing vessel sank, the four friends could easily see the bright lights of Miami Beach. But only two of them would make it back.A third man washed ashore drowned. A few feet from his body lay a life jacket. A fourth has yet to be found and is presumed dead at sea. U.S. Coast Guard officials identified the dead man as Jeffrey Cutler, 49. The missing man, who owns the boat, is Charlie Whethers, 24. The two survivors were identified ....

Dam shame, RIP Mr Charlie. Never know when your card is going to get pull :(

Originally posted by 2002murder1 ... Man UP Emo... as for Charlie :no RIP .... damm that's pretty messed up man... were you guys good friends...? that's messed up... what a way to go...it's like time cought up with him....:no :(

Viper6277: I rode a couple times with him and few other guys. There limits were a little to much for me. I get loose with speed, but definately not a stunter, not yet anyway. Them boyz' would do just about everything.. You name it.. He may have had a shot with a vest. Waters were calm and they were only 2 miles offshore. :dunno

Originally posted by beafer Dam shame, RIP Mr Charlie. Never know when your card is going to get pull :( Moto My wife is from Colombia. Dangerous just to go there for americans, but I agree with BeAfer. when your card is up, it is up, could be on a bike, on a sidewalk on a boat or whatever. Still nontheless, something is trying to tell you something. Pull over your roll for a bit and see of the feeling passes. Chances are it will. Don't ignore it, but don'tlet it change who you are...
