I thought the tyre pressure felt a bit low so I went to the petrol station to check/inflate the tyres and to my surprise the front tyre had about 10psi left and the back one 14.5psi. I got them both up to 33 and now the bike feels proper again.

Amazing what 2 months of inactivity can do to your tyres.

Have you checked your pressure lately?
