Bad Hair Days (not about helmet hair)

[SuperDave]

Yep have the same thing. I have been feeling like that very often with the new ZXR, whereas I never felt like that for the last 3 to 4 months of having the FXR. Took my sister out for a decent ride today to Kaukapakapa and round coastville area and the ride was just awesome - so hopefully this is a start of an a good thing with the ZXR

I also find that is something is not the same, ie I forget my earplugs it makes it really hard to enjoy the ride.

All in all just part of a normal riding day for me. One min I'm cornering well, no problem keeping with the faster riders, next min it's nana time and even the slower riders are catching me.

I just go with it now. I go with the "Nana" until my "MoJo" kicks and ride to how I feel. I consider it a kind of "Spider-Sense". There have been too many times that lessening to the "Nana" has saved me (you know the cop, stock, road missing just around the corner kind of shit). I'm sure it keeps me rightside up.

Some days I can pull the duke out keen for a ride. Right from the start it just goes terribly wrong. I finally .... Anyone else have this problem?

D'Oh! I had that same problem yesterday. Maybe it was the weather. Before the fireworks I though I'd ride out to Makara and back to kill time. Just a gentle cruise, nothing silly.

I should have known it was wrong on the first corner I went around, top of Garden Road there is this wonderful very large hairpin what I have gone around many many times, and I got a wobble half way around.

So those first few corners out of Karori and I'm wobbling around all of them. And going slowly. In the wrong gear. It gets a little better, so I pick up the pace a tiny bit. All the time not pinning the throttle once... FUCK FUCK SHIT HOLY CRAP I'm sure I got both wheels off the ground on some undulations I didn't even see. Then I had gravel on my line. Slide slide.. Nothing major.. Stopped at the beach, had a smoke. Resigned to basically putter it back to town. So I'm come up to a corner that has a dead opossum where I would like to be, so I take a tighter line, and a RAV4 comes around the corner. So worried about loosing my head on the front of the RAV4 (Probably didn't need to change my line really) I go wider, and hit the fucking road kill on it's head and was 1ft away from going down a nice ditch..

Then after the fireworks I try and ride off with my stand down.

I go home and turn on the playstation.

Felt like that today on the 125. I never feel like riding when it's overcast. Nearly came over the bars twice on the same jump so I thought it'd be better for me to stop
