Re: downside to AR08
Do you arch your back?
& lie on the tank? |

Re: downside to AR08
My ride was a bit over 160 miles- we went the long way. OK we got lost
 but I got off the bike - not a bike renowned for ergos - without any aches, even in wrists. My toes had a few pins and needles but that was cos they were cold and wet. So Matt you need to get a 675.

Re: downside to AR08
Matt, unless you've had problems with your back when riding the bike before, I'd be more inclined to blame the camping part of the weekend, especially as it was cold as well. Did you have insulated mats to lie on?

Re: downside to AR08
I'd be inclined to agree with Pete......May I suggest investing in an double airbed for you and the missus for your next AR. Invaluable, you never feel like you've slept on a board!!
Oh and inflatable pillows too...I like luxury camping me
