Nothing unusual about that I ride a lot and sometimes do that, sometimes flick the kill switch instead of full beam etc. but don't tell anyone.

DD was out with me, was scared I was going to drop bike or get lost (did neither). Libby was in bed when we left but yeah first time we have left her. Ill give it a few more tries to see if feelings change and some enjoyment comes back. If I give up now, I will never be on a bike again - certainly not going pillion with DD.
well keep feeling positive about how you used to enjoy it. I don't have experience of a Raptor but I'm guessing it wouldn't be the first choice for (effectively) a newbie so bear that in mind that it might be a bit harder to ride smoothly.
Hope you stick at it - but only do it for yourself.
