Unfortunately it is hard to say as there are literally hundreds of factors, but the best thing to do is check your tire pressure and tread. Low pressure and worn out rubber will do funny things. Also check that you have the suspension setup correctly for your weight, and make sure that you do not have a death grip on the handle bars which will result in the wind blowing you around giving unintentional input.

I figured an answer something like that, thanks froggy. Pressure is good but tires are in their final streutch of life. Had almost no grip on the bars so that's not it. Ill get new rubber over the winter and see what happens. Good thing I don't have to be anywhere that quickly coming up. The bike just seemed to want to stretch it out the other night so I let it.
