…and sometimes you are not. I was riding like an utter numpty this morning, not dangerously but I couldn’t seem to get anything right, wasn’t in the right gear, cornering lines like the outline of a 50p, couldn’t read the gaps to filter and kept getting stuck, missed an upchange ot two and stalled it at the lights. As I’m normally Mr Smooth it’s all basic stuff that I usually do without thinking about it, and of course the more you do think about it and try to concentrate the worse it gets! At least I got to work without killing anyone, especially me - I’ll probably be fine on the way home. I’m off to the canteen, maybe a bacon sarnie will restore the natural order of things…
I was at one with my bike after our rideout in that sunshine yesterday.
It felt like my crotch was welded to the seat:D:D:D
Nice mental image there CM, thanks for that.
same thing happened to me a while back - really phased me!
Luckily the ride home was OK and by the next day all was restored back to brilliance!!!
Guess it hapens to us all. Couple of days ago I was riding so poorly I wondered how I’d ever passed my test and scared I was headed for a crash of some sort.
It’s normal mate - some days you feel like you are riding like some kind of rush-hour God - other days - it all turns to rat-sh*t and it seems like you can do nothing right! The important thing is to take on board the fact that you are having an ‘off’ day and tone your riding down a bit so you don’t get into any real bother. 
Don’t worry, it’s pretty normal, I have some days where I’m really clumsy, other days when I just flow through very nicely.
It is horrible when it happens.
I was half-way home the other day and, for some inexplicable reason, started riding ‘numpty’ style. Got bends wrong, didn’t feel comfortable, got bullied by a couple of cars racing each other and seemed to find every bump and drain cover in the South of England. Before that I’d been riding like a genius! 
Next time you ride like that take the oportunity to get revenge on the school run mums, BMW drivers, that lady in the black Merc, cyclists, lemming pedestrians. 
Enjoy the angry shouts and waived fist safe in the knowledge of “Now you know how I feel”
And bacon sarnies are proven to restore the balance. Recognise the signs, find a caf or roadside van, stop and stuff yer face. :w00t:
I ride like a crock of … all the time. I thought that was normal.
Am I doing something wrong?
Seriously, when everything clicks it’s magic. When nothing flows it’s horrid.
