Riding 'Workout'?

[KingKong]

Does anyone else find they're physically tired after riding?

Only really after riding motox or a heavy greenlaning session

Could be concentration? Draining mentally aswell as physically.

[Seb]

My SP1 used to be hugely tiring to ride, a 2 or 3 hour ride with mates and I'd be out cold as soon as I got home and sat down. That thing was as draining mentally as it was physically though.

i used to spend all day on the SP-1 with no issues apart from numb hands, numb arse and an empty wallet. My job is very physical though so riding is relaxing for me.

Maybe your doing it wrong

Probs just the fact you are overly concentrating as its a new bike and you are still new to it.

Give it time

Only after filtering in a lot of heavy traffic.
I notice my shoulders get tense and my neck starts to twinge up.

I went to a physio about my neck ages ago anyway, so quite often when I get a chance, I'll sit at a red traffic light doing neck hyperextension exercises

Perhaps I should ditch the pedals and use the throttle for a change

On a serious note, if some of you are maintaining that you feel the fatigue after filtering, then that would make a lot of sense to me because 90% of the time when I ride I am filtering, and so get achey around the shoulders, neck, biceps and triceps, and chest.

I guess you are correct - it's a new machine and I need to get used to it

Aint riding great

Depends on the bike and style of riding.
Wind, suspension, riding position, traffic conditions and the gear you wear have a big effect on stamina and fatigue.

Bigger bikes soak up more of the strain I guess.


As compared to riding a big Hunter horse as opposed to riding a Blackpool Beach donkey.

I used to when I first started riding.
I am only now, really tired if its been a long hoon for a good few hours with the group.

[Slacker24seve...]

After filtering from one side of Brum to the other through standstill traffic my clutch hand ached. A lot. I ached all over after a 5 hour thrash to Aberystwyth and back, apart from that no, not really.
