Then, of course, the insomnia issue also…West African Bikers Converge in Akure in 2016, I didn’t sleep much in the night no thanks to the energy drink I had earlier in the evening.
As we fueled in Akure, the fuel attendant didn’t stop the pump on time so she spilled fuel all over my bike. At this point, I was so sure I wasn’t concentrating. We started riding, my brain couldn’t process more than 90kmph. I was exhausted. I told my guys to go so I don’t slow them down but they refused. When we got to Mobil in Ibadan, I just took off my jacket, then helmet and slept on the grass for 40mins. After which I felt so much better.
Lessons learnt:
1. I didn’t have to ride since I was feeling tired.
2. Always let people in your riding group know your state of mind.
3. Get down from your bike when fuelling.
4. If fatigue finally sets in pull over and take a break/nap. Might be the only reason you ever see your family again.
