Boredom
I usually find myself being bored whilst riding ON the bike (the bits inbetween riding usually being filled up with partying, staring, eating, terrorising travel partners, etc. etc.) so have come up with a personal challenge:
Whilst riding, without slowing down, try and remove one glove (without it flying down the road), then unzip your tank bag, then fiddle about to find your packet of chewing gum, THEN open the packet, unwrap a chewy, place it in your mouth (experiment with putting it in from underneath the helmet, or via the visor bit), pack everything away, put glove back on.
The process of perfecting your technique is BRILLIANT for dispelling boredom including a) losing your glove b) losing the contents of your tank bag c) getting chewing gum stuck in your chin strap and your hair.
