    I just hope you've never picked any of that up and put it in your jersey pocket.

    I love the plastic fly!

    I found a tiny turtle on the road a few weeks ago, kept him and fed him for a few weeks then let him go again. Not practical to strap him on my handlebars.

    I also found an Israeli coin on the road.

    I'm kind of into insects. Used to keep tarantulas. I have a couple of insect tattoos.
    My bike has a bee on it already, though it's not as hip as your plastic fly :

    My next bike will have a cicada.

    I'll have to keep my eye out on the roads for a suitable 'mojo'.

    LOL thanks for the comments! I'm thinking maybe I should have titled it Get Your Mojo!

    Have fun getting yours and remember they find you, you have to accept what you get for good luck.

    I hope to hear some good stories and see some cool mojo's.

    I had to laugh at all the dust on my bike it really showed up in the picture, gotta definately do something about that like get out and blow the dust off!
    Yeehaw!

    Bleeker I love that Bee on your bike and you love insects? Wow you're braver than I, they sorta creep me out. I have played with a tarantula or two living in the desert with my three boys, oy!

    Oh this reminds me....last year I saw a tiny red Barbie platform disco shoe on the road quite a few times as I passed it on one of my favorite rides. Maybe it was trying to be my mojo and I didn't realize!!!

    Well I'll have to wait for the next one.

    A Barbie platform disco shoe! LMAO Now that would have been cool!

    Shortly after I found my "fly" I was on a ride, stopped because I flatted and when I looked down at my tire there was a space creature laying in the dirt. Just the head but I picked it up anyway and still have it. The whole rest of my ride I kept thinking now what if I would have found that alien space creature before the fly?

    Maybe my whole biking experience would have changed, at least I know FlyGirl would not be named FlyGirl and I would have a green alien looking up at me when I ride my bike, awe fate......

    I like my Luna so much that I might sell my Rambouillet next year and replace it with another Luna. I'll still 'only' have two bikes then.

    sorry.....back to mojos!

    Hmmm, before my first race I was bumbling around at Wal-Mart and strolled through the "bike" section. There with all the stupid license plates and nonsense were streamers made to insert into handlebars. It truly was destiny as they were baby and dark blue like my beloved bike. Never one to take myself seriously I bought them and proudly forced them into my grips.

    I got some sneers from the "take myself too seriously" beginner/sport class folks but I didn't care. Half way through the race I bonked hard because nerves had prevented me from eating. All the hot pro/elite/expert racer boys were passing me and one hollered something like, "Nice streamers Rally Girl." I liked it, lots. I think he was meaning pep rally, but I was thinking of it more in my brother's moto cross terms of "rallying through" something typically implying at high speed.

    Maybe he wasn't too long out of high school (or still in it) to be thinking of pep rallies. I would have thought of it the same way as you.

    Do they still have pep rallies?

    Not a critter, but...

    My mom always believed that the color red was lucky. If any of us kids went skiing or biking or any sport where we "could get hurt" we had to wear something red.

    To this day I wrap a piece of red electrical tape on my ski poles and on the seat post of all of my bikes.
