    Lost Mojo

    After being in a "motorcycle depressive state" where I just didn't really want anything to do with my bike over the past couple of months. But this morning I went for a pre-work ride and woke up half of Island Bay and blew a few emotions away. I'm ready to sort my shit and start enjoing it again.

    Does anyone else experianced stuff like this with their bike?
    The world will look up and shout "Save Us!", and I'll whisper "no"

    Yes. I alternate obsessions.

    I've currently lost my drumming mojo.
    If a man is alone in the woods and there isn't a woke Hollywood around to call him racist, is he still white?

    Yup.

    It sux.
    I think it's mostly just symptomatic of my current malaise and indifferent mental health, because I'm not doing lots of things I used to do lots (guitar, listening to music, writing, stained glass work, sex, etc.)

    But also sometimes I get like that from too much commuting without hooning.
    I haven't had a decent blast for a while, and haven't cracked a decent wheelie for a few weeks.
    ... and that's what I think.

    Or summat.


    Or maybe not...

    Dunno really....

    I don't think I've ever really lost my biking mojo, but it's certainly been the cure for other malaises in my life, along the years.

    Arrow Most definitely.

    When I've had a really hard day at work I take my bike for a thrash. I've come close to killing it or myself a couple of times now and really need a bigger bike The mojo tends to return immediately afterwards
    Those who insist on perfect safety, don't have the balls to live in the real world.

    No. 22 years riding and still enjoy it. A new bike before too much longer would make me feel even better though. Now if I could only win lotto....

    Agree with you Slim, going for a 'decent' ride is a good cure, going for a surf is another.

    What a dag!

    Excellent. I can't find time to do it which is a bad sign. I used to make time if you know what I mean. Played for 30 years, taught for 10, and they desire has just gone away in the last 12 months.
