I've definitely made the decision not to ride because I wasn't in the right physical or mental state for it.

I remember riding home from work one day after a sniffle became a nasty sinus infection over the course of the day and thinking to myself that I absolutely shouldn't be on the road.

Sometimes on long distance trips I have a hard time keeping my eyes open from fatigue and I usually find a spot to pull over and nap on a picnic table or even just under a tree. On many trips, I've called it a day and found a hotel early because of a head cold, being tired, being more sore than usual, etc.

I had to take the bike keys away from my husband once years ago, while we dating, after we'd been fighting and he was so angry that he was clearly not in control of his actions/emotions. He drives more aggressively when he's upset and there was no way I wanted him on a motorcycle at that point.
