The Flow

A person riding a motorcycle on an open countryside road.

What is the flow?

Quite simply the flow is the feeling you get when it all comes together.

Every corner joins every other corner, seamlessly, the bike moves from one to the other like a dance. You meet slower vehicles at just the right time, so overtakes are dealt with , your forward progress is effortless, it’s almost like flying. Your ride pace that doesn’t require high speed so it is less tiring, more enjoyable.

Old school riders would often say that ‘the road came up to them’.

But the flow, this dance, the seamlessness, isn’t something that happens by accident, it isn’t down to luck and a clear road. A good rider with all the skills and tools in his pocket can have these rides time after time again. That is the flow.
