[tdiloren]

[Sportygurl131]

a few of us from worcester might join this ride... whaats the pace if you dont mind me asking... im a newbie

[Devil1]

Fast at times. I'm wearing my suit. I can't guarantee it but not everyone will be going that fast.

[Taiden]

I want to go but I'm worried about cramping up.

How do sport bike riders go long distances without getting cramps? I'm tall and I ride a ninja 500r and my neck and back hurts after 20 minutes of riding, and I have a corbin seat. I try to vary my position too.

You guys want to make a stop in Portland so I can hop on the train?

Yep Maine mall around 10. Picking up a super white Brazilian homo there. My wife rides a 500 too hundreds of miles.

Edit per request of said Boston loser.

Is she 6'3"? Ask her if she has any tips for me. I'm trying out different things to extend my comfortable range.

[Devil1]

She's 5'10. I don't know. I think it's comfortable. So does she.

Sit on the back seat.

Serious or joking? I was close to trying that yesterday.

[Danno]

I put crash bars on my SV and then mounted highway pegs.

They are great for stretching the legs out fully supported. I'll do that for five minutes and then it feels great to put 'em back on the pegs.


I mounted Buell pegs on my SV, about 3/4" back and lower. If the peg for your EX is similar that might be an option.

[Taiden]

I actually cannot make it.

My license test is on Monday and I'm 99% sure NH doesn't allow out-of-state permitted drivers to operate in it.

[Devil1]

Ok. Maybe next time.

[tdiloren]

Where are you meeting at the mall ? I'd like to tag along

[Devil1]

Let's say by Sears by the food court.

Without realizing it you are using your back muscles to hold yourself upright, you need to learn to use your abs and take the strain off your back. The same thing used to happen to me when I started riding, till someone told me. Next time your on your bike while your riding start leaning forward slowly till you feel your abs just start to tighten, and stay in that position. Its kind of weird at first but once you figure it out its like flipping a switch, you'll feel your back and neck relax, and be able to stay comfortable for much longer. It will also take some of the pressure off your wrists.
I have a zx6r and about 6'1" and i've put on over 200 miles stopping only for gas and been fine.

My buddy just got his permit this season he's from mass, and works in nh. He called up the police department in salem, as well as staties, and the laconia pd. And they said he was fine to drive in nh, just under same restrictions, no night riding, no passengers, must wear helmet. Sup to you though, when I got my permit I was told specifically that I could not ride in nh

[tdiloren]

See you there

[Devil1]

See you there
