For all sports bike riders.

[Devils Advocate]

I`ve had an einstein moment...i think

My last few bikes haven`t really given me too much pain in the back,wrists,elbows but the ape i`m on now does...big time.
Today i discovered something,purely by accident,that made the whole sports bike experience 100% better and actually made riding a sports bike comfortable

it`s so simple i dont know why someone hasn`t discovered it before.
Just buy yourself an a-stars el nino suit,keep it in its waist bag,and wear the bag around your mid section every time you go out.
Problem solved...trust me!

Don`t karma bash me till you`ve tried it.I know it sounds dumb but it really does work.

BTW this isnt a plug for a-stars el nino suits and i dont sell them either,i`m sure it`d work just the same with any other waist bag too.

Or buy a kidney belt?

el no no

shouldn't be having much weight on your wrists anyway use your legs/knees or stretch your arms a bit

Sure there wasn't some other variable involved? Perhaps you'd just taken a rather large poo? I don't find my bike uncomfortable, though it's more sports tourer. Maybe you just have bad posture that is corrected by a waist band.

From then on, I and the bicycle feelings deeper.

allow me to explain a bit better.

Usually with waist bags (or bum-bags as some people call them) theyre worn round the back on your arse,all i do is spin it around so that the bag is at the front.It acts like a cushion against the tank and props me up so that my wrists and arms can stay loose on the bars and i dont have to try and take the load on my back either.
It might not work for everyone.If youve got a big fat gut,unlike me, that will probably do the same trick anyway.lol
Like i said though,i havent had the problem as severe as this with other sportsbikes,so it may well be that the ape isnt suited to my size/shape/dimensions.It is considerably bigger and heavier than the other bikes i`ve had.(r6,6rr,zx)
Without the bag on i find the ape a terrible bike to ride.Within 20 minutes i`m in agony and usually have to stop for a rest,straighten up,and let the blood flow back into my wrists.

here`s a pic,imagine the bag at the front instead of the back,with the suit inside it,and you might get what i mean.
