:lol:True! These bikes aren't made for comfort, they're made to be ridden for about 45 minutes by a very busy rider. The only real problem is that no matter how much you can adjust your weight, you can never change the position your neck is in. I think I just need some conditioning.
"It's a bit hard on the neck after a few hours but only a little" isn't 'that sore'. I know what you mean, though. I move the weight around. Wrists are fine, back's fine, neck's OK.
I've got the Yamaha for that, but I don't really do more than about a day out anyways. Risers are not possible with this motorbike so I'll just have to get conditioned to it.
It really depends on the condition of your stuff (back, wrists, neck) I don't have any issues with any but still, like I said, after a few hours you want a break.
No, he just ate. The Honda wasn't bad. I was surprised how quiet the air stream was. Just heard light wind and the motor. It's a bit hard on the neck after a few hours but only a little. It's sort of like doing a constant bench press.
Took the RC51 out to Hocking Hills today with a couple of hard core Harley guys. Jimbo's is closed M-W so no huge burgers. Perfect weather, though. Put on about 160 miles over 4½ hours and when I got home it was nice to look down again. Check out this outlaw. His jacket is hiding his necklace of children's ears! Good times.
If she never passes the road test a family somewhere is going to be able to live out their natural years. I passed it with 899 tries. Lucky 899 I always say.
I've got something at 11AM-2PM. I was going to ride some tomorrow, though. Went out on some highways and ramps today. I'm going to Hocking Hills on Monday - leave at noon, back at 4.
