[Leyton]

Hiya!

Or is it just me ? hehe

It is a pretty extreme sports bike, what did you really expect?

It sounds like you have been enjoying yourself.

There may be several laws against that

I am short and little riding a Fireblade; since my arms are short I find that when I am doing the coro-loops I have to lean or partially lean on every single bend to get the bike to turn into it. Now thats tiring both on my arms, knees and hands....

Dude, I hate to break this to you but, ummmmmm

Leaning is pretty much how a bike corners with a bit of momentum.

I was going to tell him to harden up, but I am far too nice for that

Sometimes it is simply about getting fit for the purpose

Glad to know its not just me then! hehe

And yeah, I am just going to have to suck it up and get fit for the purpose

Going to Piha from Hamilton and back down SH22 today was a mission! Could hardly apply preasure on my pegs for cornering my knees where that sore from taking all the bumps and cornering the bike!

LOL!!! I will take the pills thanks whats the side effects ? hehe

[motorbyclist]

i find it helps to get off every hour and have a 5 minute stretch to get the blood flowing again otherwise by the end of the day i've got cramps and sore legs all week

perhaps your knee armour isn't bending enough or the pants/leather doesn't have enough room?

So sports bikes ARE as uncomfortable as they look then? Always wondered about that.

Yeah we did not have tooo many stops today for a run around. I have wondered about my calve muscle + the leather pants not allowing my knee to freely bend thus giving me sore knee's hummm

nah don't think so. I am on my knee's throughout the whole day taking all the bumps, and on some really shite roads it get's ridden like a motorcross bike, bum raised and go for it! The bike jumps around alot in rough stuff and I end up having to use my legs as shocks..
