    The other day I tried to pull away twice with my stand down, left my indicators on three times and mis-judged a few bends - either having to brake on the bend or wobbling around as going too slow - it's fair to say we can get "off days".
    tonight I had to use my car to pick up my daughter and although I've had a great ride/commute today I drove my car like a complete novice?
    i was going to leave a long critical reply to the guy who posted a vid of him going off road but maybe keep quiet....
    is it just me....?

    I definately have days like that.
    When it's your time to go it's your time, so don't let it catch you.

    Yup. Been there done that. I've had days when i set off and it all went wrong. Bad gear shifts, bad timing, slack braking. Even wheelied across bumpers farm roundabout a few years ago with my legs flaying all over the place on one occasion. Yup, i think we've all been there.

    I definitely get days like this. Strangely enough, if I'm riding and I stop, get off and have a wander, when I get back on again, I'm better

    It does, however, sometimes work the other way around. wacko3.gif

    Damn - had you forgotten to take a haversack?
