I have that warm satisfied glow that you can only get from having a good day`s riding , or bumping uglies with nice lady LOL .

I know that feeling after I got back from 500 miles of NW2 but not on NW3 as I have got a comfort kit which is fantastic.

Thats the one I have as well, I think there was another couple of bikes that also had it done on NW3 as well.

Sweet , that`s a very nice setup you have there

glad you had fun badger. Try gripping with your knees a bit more and easing off with your hands. it helps the wrists on long journeys. The vibrations are why this is a girls bike lol

+1 on this......I commute daily on my bike and do 40 mile a day, gets you used to it. Found on longer journeys (IE NW3 - 500+ miles) that I grip the tank with my knees.

You will get used to it, its always worse in the first few rides.

hiya badger, glad u had a good day, and arrived home safe and tired. looking forward to much more of the same i bet!!!!

Oh very tired indeed , was in work this morning and the lads were asking me about my day , they were astounded by the mileage I did and one of them then said "well you must have enjoyed it otherwise you would have come home sooner" , I slept soundly last night , but damn do my hands hurt today LOL

Glad you had such a good day and you`re happy with the bike... My wrists ache constantly whilst riding and my right hand actually goes numb! can`t feel my fingers or anything. I think i do already grip with my knees a lot cos i end up with bruises inside my legs.

Whats the c"omfort kit" people are talking about?
