I'd twisted my levers and bars up

English Other Sports / Fitness / Recreation
The bike was still running when I picked it up, but I'd twisted my levers and bars up, so it took me a lap to get my rhythm back. I got comfortable and put my head down though, and I still felt really good, so I began carving through.

The handlebars and levers had become twisted up / bent / damaged / and it took a lap to get used to riding the bike in its \'new\' condition - to get the rhythm back.

Might just be mis-aligned for \'twisted up\'..
From your previous question, I\'m guessing we\'re talking about motocross?

gears and speed was up

I had twisted my gears and my speed was up, so it took me sometime (a lap ) to lower my speed adjust the gears so that my rhytm was back and I was comfortable.

Hope this is of use to you
