Numb Bumb!

[StevenF]

I went out for a ride today, done 120 miles and my back side was killing me! I was hoping it would be a bit more comfortable than it is for that sort of mileage! Anyone else have the same problem?

It's also freezing today

Did 90 miles (Wakefield to Leicester) on Friday and was aching by the time I got off (ER6-F). The return journey 4 hours later was even worse.

I've changed my mind about taking the bike any further afield. It's definitely a commuting only machine !

I could do 200+ in one sitting on my 2000 CBR600F without a single ache or pain afterwards.


Different story on my RR though.

I can manage about 120-ish miles , though I won't be really uncomfortable , I can do with a break at that point .

Part of me wishes I still smoke , so I'd have a reason to stop for a stretch and a smoke

CBR1000F BTW

I frequently spend four and more hours sitting on the old RXS and rarely get the dreaded numb/sore arse. I do get knee ache sometimes, but it's a small bike and I'm fairly large

Yes. I have to stop every 60 miles or so, just to get the feeling back in most of my fingers and in my bum. But I suffer bad circulation in my hands at any time, it's just exaggerated when on the bike. I suffer from back ache constantly...so it's a pain I just put up with.

After about 20 miles I find it's my bollocks that start aching

You'll just have to man up.

Am i just lucky or something? I done a 240 mile round trip on my RR last weekend, in one day, then done another 120 miles the next day and not an ache?

I'm not exactly fit, pretty lardy these days but dont seem to ache at all?

One thing i do notice is that im relaxed on the bike, my hands dont grip the bars tightly at all - so i dont waste energy holding on too much and it lets the bike sort little bumps out. Dunno if that makes a difference though?

I find on back roads I tend to be fine as I move about the bike quite a lot - so try hanging off a bit etc and you may well find you're fine.
