    The answer was simple ! "I'll prolly get bored with racing too, once i've nailed it !"

    Whenever I get the urge to exercise I lie down until it goes away.

    But seriously....pole dancing???? I hear it's good for the upper body and core muscles. Not that I actually know from experience though.

    It's easy enough to do little stretches, bouncing on the saddle, small neck tilts etc while you're riding. Probably the mental fitness is more of an issues for some people!
    Oh yeah, and I agree with bikerchik about house work, gardening, walking the dog (although that particular job usually falls to Balu....)

    Another spit coffee at the puta moment.

    I studied Physical training for many years and I've gotta say, PBs advice is bang on the money, just lie down, the urge will pass given enough time. If not try some anti exercise gums or patches.

    Don't give in to this irrational desire to be sweaty, it's not a good look.
    Oh bugger

    Housework is good exercise - if you don't have enough to do I could let you clean around my place and I wouldn't even charge you for the workout.

    Great idea but I'm not house trained. Now where did I leave that shiny red vacuum cleaner. (Sorry I've a friend who rides a 250 burger (grunty beast), and loves it. 400 must run well.

    Nice to hear from you Blacksheep. Been quiet in the wings I see.

    I started this thread because there was nothing on the topic. It's produced some very interesting and enlightening suggestions. Nice to have people sharing honestly about something that affects them.

    Tai chi in the park tomorrow I think then a bit more stunt riding. I'm still trying to perfect my somersaults and landings.

    Nothing more irritating than the born-again [whatever].

    Whether it's jogger, pushbiker, nonsmoker, dieter, whatever. Nothing more annoying.

    Particularly when this new-found zeal is actually an imposition rather than free will.

    Personally, I think (and have found so far to be true) that the best training for motorcycling is more motorcycling.

    Hmmm, I appear to be in 100% agreement with DangerousBastard. I would therefore like to totally reverse my position and advocate the complete opposite of whatever the hell it was I just said. I was probably drunk, or something.

    100%?? Bloody hell, that would be only the second time EVER! edit: OMG and you're a cruiser rider and I'm a sportbike rider! Are we getting soft ?

    My back, neck, knees, and wrists have been in the best shape ever since I assumed the sport-bike position. Just wanna get from 91KG down to 83-85KG.

    Shit yeah, just ride the bugger, and ride it lots. Can't do a head check? Try harder - ignore the crunching noises. Can't look up in corners? Yes you can - put some beef into it - those vertebrae will loosen up soon.
