Pain In The Arse

[Z_Fanatic]

I didn't know you spoke androgenous, how fluent!

Aren't most sportbike's PITAs too, rather more literally, after the first 15 minutes or so? My Twinstar usually took about an hour to become one, at which point I would sing this quite audibly while riding:

"Oh, my batty is hurting me,
I don't know why, I just can't see;
It hurts me right down to my soul,
It hurts me so-o-OOOO,
My batty hole!"

Then, when it gets even worse, the singing degenerates to this (to the tune of a vocal exercise):

"My ass is in pain,
My ass is in pa-ay-ay-aiiiin,
My-ay-ay ass i-i-is in pain."

...by which time I try to find somewhere to pull over and walk around for a few minutes.

I realize now (after I've stopped riding...duh!) that I should have timed how long it takes for the pain to first start setting in, and then stopped just before that time elapsed on subsequent rides.

If you break a 400+ mile ride down into approximately hour-long rides with food/stretch breaks intermittently, it usually doesn't end up in much pain... unless you sit heavy on the bars, then your shoulders might hurt (like mine usually do)

when i'm riding two up, it takes 15 min before i need to stop but solo i'm fine for about an hour or so. don't feel the strain if i get to move around and corner properly. straight line touring shits me after 30min.

I am usually good for the first three or four hours, then its touch and go. Gotta keep moving in the saddle. Its when you are stagnant that my ass starts buggin.

And how, exactly, does my being stagnant affect your ass? (I'm sure I don't want to know, but I had to ask anyway... )

your blade is to beautiful to give up.

I think the late Bimota bikes are some of the most exotic bikes in the world such as the SB6, SB7, SB8 models, the 500 VDUE, DB4, my personal favorite; SB8R.

Bad choice of wording.


What I meant was move your ass around in the saddle once in a while and you will be able to ride longer. If you are anything above a novice rider you should know that sitting in the same spot will limit your riding abilities. Smart ass.

Some folks call me a smart ass.

Some folks call me a dumb ass.

But if I get back into riding, I'll take your *revised* advice, and avoid getting a numb ass.
