Are babies messing with my head?

not sure it's the kids, as I'm also going through an uncharacteristic bimbling phase at the mo, and i don't have any nippers. let's hope it goes away by the track day anyway!!

It's party parenthood and partly confidence I imagine. I was off my bike for 10 weeks, and really felt odd when I got back on initially, thinking constantly what it, etc.

You'll get your mojo back!

Its an age thing.When I was twenty I was utterly indesructable and behaved accordingly.By the time I was thirty I was amazed at how brittle some bits of me had become in those ten years.

well that was me this morning

OK, thanks for your thoughts so far, keep em coming. Nice to know it's happened to other parents too...

Confidence is never a problem I've suffered. I went without a bike for 12 years only riding a bike maybe once a year on average and I'd always get back on and unless it's some really indimidating sportsbike, think "uh hu, remember this, nae bother, away we go, twist throttle!". It's just like riding a bike as they say!

ha, ha, ahem, original post getting edited next! 150 MILE run. Dare say if I went out in the last couple of days I could get a 150mph run on an SV, there's been a hell of a tailwind.

I'm never having kids.

Err not enough seeds, no mate, or just a matter of choice

its probably partly having a new baby to consider and the fact that you are getting older lol

I usually think what if, when Im out on bike (especially as I usually have one or other of kids with me). For me its cos im a single mum and if something was to happen to me (even a trip and overnight stay in hospital) I dont have anyone that could look after the kids.

next rideout we can bimble along at the back with northy

im 22, self employed, co-habitating and mortgage free. I get a few weeks at a time where Im quite content to get into 6th asap and enjoy the scenery. Then there's other times where I'm rushing for no reason other than feeling alive. Who knows, maybe it's a mood thing?
