    Ok, thats good, thanks
    To every man upon this earth
    Death cometh sooner or late
    And how can a man die better
    Than facing fearful odds
    For the ashes of his fathers
    And the temples of his Gods

    Don't mind a cruiser,I find them more comfy than a sportsbike,and easier to move around at low speed - but I'm with Ixion...if you want to do big distances you need a Tourer,there are such things y'know.....

    I don't see this topic as not being worthy of serious discusion. And if you had thought that you wouldn't have brought it up anyway.
    I'll give you a point though in the fact that Tourers are more comfortable for longer rides. But that does not mean that cruisers aren't comfortable. Every bike has it's purpose so don't go trashing all cruiser riders becouse of your experiance with them.

    And yes I know in my previous posts it looks as if I'm trashing sport bike riders due to past experiance but I never said all of them were like that just the majority of ones I have met in the past. Doesn't say anything about the ones I may meet in the future.

    I did a bit of poking through the archives already. the topic has been done to DEATH here. I cannot bring myself to attack it again. not invalid, just stale.

    in other circumstances I'm sure I would find it more interesting to address the question. but quite honestly it gives me a headache and an annoyed twitchy feeling when I try to think about it further. I tried, there, but I really just dont care enough.

    If you say so Fish. But I spend alot of time on here (too much according to some) and I've never seen any discussions about whether a cruiser is comfortable or not. But if that's the story you want to go with then by all means be my guest.

    Anyhoo. Cruisers are generally pretty comfortable (the qualifier is because there are exceptions to every rule, including this one). But I'd advocate fitting a screen if you're planning to ride reasonably long distances: keeps the wind off your chest and you don't have to hold on so tightly.
