The slightly more extreme riding position on the current ZX compared to the CBR now means I get a sore back, wrists, palms and forearms. Last weekend's Coro loop gave me aches and pains in place I didn't know existed.

Yeah, i think Kwaka's so the same to me? My 2nd decent ride around the Coro Loop that same day as you saw me quite comfy all the way except for the homeward hour long stretch on the motorway from Papakura to Hobsonville, started getting sore feet towards the end. Had been on the bike for total of about 7 hours though so made a great impression on me, very happy to spend that amount of time on a sprotsbike and still feel reasonably comfortable, wasn't even sore the next day!! Go Honda!

I actually hurt more if i drive a manual car, but i have a feeling thats cos of the injury in my leg. Autos are so-so, not too much pain...less then riding.
Other aches while riding.......wrists are the worse......next bike i own will have to be a streetfighter/motard - my wrists have nasty RSI from holding my weight in long rides.

what we need is a bit more endurance training say 500 k a day keeps the sore backs away

Lol, might have the opposite effect with some peeps!

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

I just get a pain in my arse. Better known as my personality pain In my younger days I use to get the throttle roll pain but a good the night before sorted that problem out.

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?

my right wrist is shorter than my left (after having the proximal row of bones
removed some time back so i ride a little lobsided,) witch i find gives me a sore neck,I have a plate and pins in one leg as well as a dirty big K rod
in the other, I just find that when i ride longer they sort of lock up a bit
if you know you going to have to stop after a long ride its fun
( all sorts of hopping antics and and shit allways keeps my brothers kids
laughing)

[Madmax]

Now that is funny, considering you own 2 bikes, property's and all...

Think of the Biafran's!

Bugger that I think Jello Biafra of the Dead Kenndys should Pay me after
he landed on my head a mainstreet years back

My right hip. If I'm on a longish ride and feel like stretching my legs by standing up - sometimes my hip sort of locks, then when I sit down it fkin hurts, so I have to stand up and shake my leg around. I bet it looks like I've shat my pants and I'm trying to shake it down my trousers to other road users..

I took a hit on my right hip a while back. It caused the hip problem and nerve damage to my leg.

But you'd never know - because I'm a honed riding, shagging and bragging machine.

My old bike used to bring out reminders of past injuries. The new one is such a pleasure to ride. I get more pain from the cage than the bike. My shoulder is still not 100% but only notice it manuovering the bike at low speeds or when pushing it in or out of the parking space at work and home. The hip likes the extra leg room so does not play up now.

Depends on the bike

Kr1 250 , Arse and thighs , a killer after 500 km (rest of body)
Duc 748 , Sholder blades , upper arms (bad at low speed) after 400 kms
R6 , knees to the point of not enjoying riding after 200 kms, suit younger rider !.
GSXR1000 , mostly good , thighs / arse a bit sore after 400 kms but comfie bike.
GSX600f , no issues.
XJ600 upper arms.

The one that pisses me of is my right hand ring finger,I hurt it after the throttle stuck onthe face of a jump. I continued the race , but 6 months after it feels dead , funny sort of, works ok just when I put pressure on it ,,,but hey i only use it for braking and I dont do much of that !!!

The legs give me gip , broke both of those on a cb360 , so when the weather changes I get a spike of pain that stops conversation ....

oh and the one that REALLY anoys me most is the chunk out of me right wrist ( rg250 160 km/hr ) well it is right where you rest the hand to use a mouse ,,,so I have all these bean bags around the computer ,,otherwise it hurts ,,,,

riding wise after 400km on the enfield I get a sore butt ,,,,BUT I will change to the wide sprung saddle ,,,( would also like to go back to rigid frame and sprung saddle, as I really like this combo for handling and comfort ! )
