Thanks guys had another long blast at the weekend and was sooooo glad when the fuel light came on. The other customers must have giggled in the garage at my john wayne walk up to the till !
Must say that I rode for eight days straight, and for about 7 hours every day on my 748 and my arse didn't really hurt. A little discomfort on the motorway, but otherwise I was so rarely still, it wasn't a problem. Move around on the seat more!
i agree with ath748, i've had 3 weeks from 6-12 hrs in the saddle (749) and it was fine apart from really hot weather. i thought my wrists and backside would go in the first day but it turned out they didn't really hurt at all, it was the tops of my arms that ached. btw i'm 6'2
