Riding 'fast' on the open road?

[nodrog:Me]

... at night is even better..... right?

Only if you have a bike with a light switch.

Heyya, I did a bit of a write up on this subject a while ago, here it is below....

This is what I am talking about for tips - will try some of the advice there.

FYI on the ride, I was mainly down changing and using a bit of back brake to set the bike up into the corner, it was more the flow between the corners that I wasn't feeling

There's some sure 'nuff strange stuff here in response to a simple question.

Even the riding gods who get paid millions complain that sometimes they just can't get a good rhythm. In his autobiography Guy Martin says that when he catches another rider in the TT he has to get past quickly. If he follows the rider too long he can lose his own rhythm and it may be difficult or impossible to get it back.

At our much more modest level it's still possible to have an off day, an unco day as Drew called it IIRC? Just be extra careful until it comes back.
