What motorcycling stressors do you recognise

Are there things which make you worry when you're riding your motorcycle?

Lucy England


We were just wondering, in these stressful times, if there were any negative factors which you were experiencing, while out and about on your motorcycle? Are there any which we've missed which you could add to the list...
 
Which are your worst stressors?
 
* Riding your motorcycle in bad weather?
 
* Riding your bike in the dark ?
 
* Filtering through heavy traffic?
 
* Overtaking traffic?
 
* Riding abroad?
 
* Wondering whether your motorcycle will pass it's MOT?
 
* Getting a puncture and falling off?
 
* Wondering if your motorcycle is meeting emissions targets or is polluting?
 
* Worrying about potential SMIDSY incidents?
 
* Finding it harder to park at your destination?
 
* New technology and disguised speed cameras?
 
* Carrying a pillion passenger?
 
* Increasing costs of riding a motorcycle?
 
Do any of these chime with you at all, and are there other major things which we have missed, which really get your goat and cause you anxiety? Also what is it which makes you feel fantastic when you're riding your bike?
 
We'd love to hear your thoughts on modern motorcycling and what is better, and what is worse about motorcycling today, compared to when you first started riding? Feel free to have a massive moan and get it off your chest or sing a paean of praise to riding your motorcycle, whatever happens or whatever life throws at motorcyclists.
