hue jass Posted November 10, 2009 Report Share Posted November 10, 2009 (edited) 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. Edited November 10, 2009 by hue jass Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

max power Posted November 10, 2009 Report Share Posted November 10, 2009 Jimbo ran out of burgers around 2 pm yesterday. True story. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hue jass Posted November 10, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 10, 2009 Did he tell say you had a purdy mouth? JK. How'd the twinage do?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.

rick37 Posted November 10, 2009 Report Share Posted November 10, 2009 Hue's bike sounded awesome,Had a very enjoyable ride and thought for sure he was going to get a ticket in south bloomfield when he came flying by but they must have been eating doughnuts somewhere.

hue jass Posted November 10, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 10, 2009 Sounds like that would be painfull after a while? :???: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.

hue jass Posted November 10, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 10, 2009 So you won't be doing any long distance touring? 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.

hue jass Posted November 10, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 10, 2009 if you are getting that sore you may be supporting too much weight with your arms."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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

20thGix Posted November 10, 2009 Report Share Posted November 10, 2009 The long straight roads are what get me. Like the interstate or just a long boring hwy. If my back is getting tired i will support more weight with my arms. If my arms are starting to feel it i will do the opposite. More legs and back. Then just alternate. When im just ready get off the bike i will have my left elbow on the tank, heels on the rear sets, and my ass moving from one side of the seat to the other.

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.
