Does anyone else find that anything different about your kit or process screws up getting ready to ride (your bike)?
I recently started wearing earplugs when riding and the first few times I put them in I found it all a bit clumsy. Usually its jacket zipped, collar velcro down, helmet on, fastened, gloves and were off.
With the plugs it was more, zip up first? plugs in next or first? helmet, gloves? drop glove! KEYS! etc In fact once I forgot to do my helmet strap up because of it and had to pull over. Now its second nature but its odd how it can affect you. (I am saying "you" here in the vein hope its not just me)
Same thing happened with helmet on at the fuel pumps. My usual garages require helmet off to fill up and 99% of the time I use those for convenience without any bother but one near my office doesn't. When I do use that one and fill up, helmet left on, gloves off to get out wallet etc I sometimes forget to put the gloves back on and only realise when I pull the clutch in.
