    Riding to Pittsburgh today.

    Family stuff. I was going to take the car but it's well overdue for an oil change (and being a Prius hubs has always had it done at the dealership). So I'll be doing 500 miles on my Ninja today. Wish me and my back luck.

    Good luck and stay safe. ☺
    I did 246 miles yesterday to Mount Mitchel and back home on a 50 so enjoy the ride while your doing whatever it is you need to do. ☺

    Probably headed out to Pittsburgh in a couple of weeks, FD Weekend! Got a ticket for the Tigers/Pirates & an invite from Ron to his FD site. Looking forward to it.

    On a stock seat...good luck with that! A co-worker recently did a 50CC (50hrs, coast-to-coast) ride as part of the Iron Butt awards program. He made it in 48, and his aftermarket saddle really helped.

    I had a Katana for a while. I will never understand how anyone with balls can ride a crotch rocket. In any event, good luck to you and your back. 500 miles in the saddle is a long day.
    I am surprised at such a sudden deterioration in a woman whose only ailment was a lazy anus.

    Well, I made it. Had a great day. Left around 12:30 AM and arrived home at just about 5 this morning . Logged over 500 miles. My butt doesn't hurt, but my shoulders do, from the backpack.

    +1 for a bike with saddlebags.

    Yeah, tell me about it. I don't want to get rid of the Ninja because it's great for buzzing around town and trips up to 60 miles or so, but I'm thinking about something better suited for long trips. Nothing like 9,500 RPM against your twat for 550 miles though. I won't need sex for weeks now.

    lol

    Friend of mine just bungee cords the backpack to the back area somewhere on the bike. He told me not to bother trying to wear a back pack for riding, it'll kill you.
