Riding Pains?

**Zed** · 5th January 2006, 14:57

Over the years whilst motorcycling I have suffered from hip & knee cramps, sore wrists, aching feet, itching 'hay-fever' eyes, dribbling nose, and just recently started getting an itchy neck just below my chin strap, which is really irritating and reduces the enjoyment of my ride a tad. All of these ailments eventually disappear and sometimes rear their ugly head again at certain times of the year.

I'd be interested to hear what your pains are too, and please, not toooo much detail okay!

SV Buttock..depends on whether I move about on the seat which helps and sometimes pins and needles in throttle wrist but I guess bikes were not meant to be comfy all the time

My hands give me some shit these days, cant think why! But depends if i'm on it any discomforte goes away as i'm all about riding, but cruising it pops up from time to time, when i stop, it sucks.
Hopefully a few more offs and i'll hurt something else to take my mind off my hands, or i could just get me a cup of harden the f$%k up. You want some Zed, one sugar or two?

Luckily the old body holds up well to hundreds of K's of non-stop riding at a go with only fuel stops.

As for having a cold.......yeah that makes one go..........

Another rotten thing is where you get a bug in the eye and can never get it completely out so have to continue with only one functional eye

Any of you ladies ever workout??

it's not a pleasant sensation either.

OAB will know what I'm talking about here. Spinal injuries are the pits. The permanent damage sucks. The worst one for me is the burning pain in my right hand that gets worse over a ride.

Mind over matter. At least I can use my hand.

There are other pains, but they're boring.

Yep... I've got the old ZXR sterilisation tool.

The old boys take a bit of abuse for sure.

Maybe Juzzer and Dover should buy KTM's?

I used to get a sore knee when it had two pins in it(the inside pin used to rub against the tank), but when they took the knee brace off it was all good.....

Ducati use to give me a sore Knee now & then Triumph T509 gave me sore shoulder blades . FZ 1000 left wirst . The GSXR1000 can put my hand to sleep if I sit on 100k for to long but that doesn't happen much LOL I think all bikes have to portenial to do something just need to ride it for long enough for them to show up . But thats life can get sore driving a car for along time too .

If I rode a reasonable distance on my NTV, I used to get a severe pain behind my left shoulder. Since getting the GTR, I have no problems. Must have been the riding position or the buffeting from no faring.

**Sniper** · 5th January 2006, 15:34

I only get the usual stiff knees and sore arse.

**Lou Girardin** · 5th January 2006, 15:49

Bugger all, maybe the odd twinge in a butt cheek after 400 k's or so.

Yeah i think you're right there. I used to get cramps on my Gixxers, sore butt on my Kwaka, and my right wrist started numbing on my Blackbird...forearms are still coming to terms with the new 954, maybe i should lay off the 1st gear bouncing wheelies!

Btw, I don't think I read you correctly Sensei, did you mention driving a "car"??

**sunhuntin** · 5th January 2006, 15:58

worst i occasionally get is where my hip doesnt want to bend so i can sit properly. usually only happens if im pillion with high up pegs. also occasionally get a slightly sore right wrist...wish i could get one of those things to hold the throttle in place and keep the revs up so i could shake it every so often, lol
