Just sat here thinking how did I get here.
I know I came on the bike as it's sat outside but can't remember anything about the journey this morning.

I can only think it's one of:
Arrow I was on auto pilot so rode beautifully the whole way
Arrow I'm so stressed my short term memory is fried
Arrow There's some alternate reality thing going on.

I know riders often remember a great ride, and proceed to tell everyone about it. As this is the opposite has anyone else got any stories of ending up somewhere and not recalling how you got there?

Just to check I don't need therapy you understand

might be that noone has cut you up or pulled out infront of you on your way to where ever you are. I always rember most trips to work as someone does something so stupid you can't forget it.

If you listen to the advanced lot, the journeys you can't remember are normally the worst as you are just drifting along, not alert or anticipating danger. I only ride like that if I've got a lot on my mind.

Cheers

Done a little investigation and found the opposite appears true.

Those journeys when you're on auto pilot means you're doing everything right and you're 'in the zone' so to speak. There aren't any threats. If there were your sub-concious gives you a quick slap and you react to the danger.

Just some thoughts Karma

I often have the same "I don't remember anything about the journey" moments. Often on the way home I can't remember the last few minutes.
Just so used to the roads and as said above if there's no dangers I have to worry about then what's there to remember?

I disagree. I was once riding along, relaxed, listening to music, paying absolutely no attention to anything but lazily flowing with the road. And down I went. Apparently there was very slight smattering of sand covering the entire width of the road which I was unable to see due to the lack of attention I was giving the riding surface. Had I been paying attention, I would have dialed back the throttle a bit and coasted on through. Oh well.
