Have a question for the men around here......

[Alphamazing]

When I ride my DR-Z, I practically ride "balls on the tank" so I just kinda shift everything to where it's flipped out front and plopped down on the tank away from any destructive areas. Also, keepin' yo junk tucked up with boxer briefs helps a lot in that department. Since you're a lady and have no proverbial "junk in the Volkswagen trunk" if you will, then I'd imagine you might try shifting your weight to your your hip/leg joint connection bones, ya know? You can lean forward without rolling onto the goods. Maybe try gripping the tank with your legs a little more?

I have never had a problem..and I'm really really short..even with my SM2's i found that position far more comfy than sitting upright...

About two times a year I'll sit on my balls.  Just some instant pain, a quick flash of light before my eyes, and everything is back to normal.

However I have never had a junk issue while riding.  And I keep my rig right up against the tank, especially when I am in the twisties.  

[Crucialval]

hey crucical- those women at the place where you picked up that windscreen were ooooing and ahhhing over you!!!!! Said you were definately something great to look at!

Thanks!! Thats really funny, they where really nice. LOL

as for this topic I'm 6'1 so mayby that has something to do with it. I normaly try the off to the side thing!

[groff22]

Yeah, the uncomfortable thing is felt here... Usually via quick kicks, like potholes or stopping quickly... Or mounting the bike ... Just stand up on the pegs and wiggle my butt and/or tap my feet... fine.


I don't really wear a cup, but if I did it would be on the outside of my pants. For pure style points.

Correct riding posture - tighten your tummy muscles, which will rotate your hips, and support your upper body.  Gripping the tank with your knees (and grip tape; see SpecTech) helps, too.

Tightey-whiteys, in far more fashionalbe tiger, leopard and zebra colors - never had a problem...in either of my tankslappers, or just overall (underall?).

Leapord, tiger, or zebra. . .

T. M. f%$king I. 

[heatherg11]

I was just wondering how you guys did it, seems like it would be very uncomfortable/painful to ride for very long.

[ambisinister]

I've never noticed any issues on my GS. I'm 5'8". I do have "junk in the trunk", but I don't notice any problems unless I put in over 180-200 mile days. Stock bars may have something to do with that,(probably everything to do with that). But like scratch said, if I start to notice a problem, I tighten my stomach muscles up and increase my leg grip on the tank. It tends to relieve back and groin pressure

[bettingpython]

I don't do more than 400 to 500 miles a day. I used to do the long haul 800 to 1000 mile days on my wing and it's just boring I find the least populated twistiest most convoluted route that I can to get to where I am planning to go and then just have fun getting there. It's no longer about the destination but the trip there and back again.

I would mention that my seating position is much more agressive than the GS even with clip-ons. If an old fat guy like me can ride a 954 500 miles a day then you whipper snappers should have no problem.

[Crucialval]

  He said whipper snapper!

This is just pure craziness now.  Woman ask a personal question,about personal areas,and the boys turn into silly teenagers all over again.

With them being teenagers is a step up compared how some of them act in some threads with name calling, etc., hell even my 6 & 5 year old boys act better than some members do at times.

Sorry to go OT, y'all can get back to talking about your nether regions & giggling like girls.

i'd think it'd be like likening them to boobs. yes, they stick out, bump into things and the like, but if you live your whole life with them, you get used to it. i never wear underwear (worn them once in 5 years) so i just kinda flop the junk into the right spot where i won't squish anything and go. every once in a while i'll stand up and adjust but the only time it hurts is on a rough road.

i don't see how you guys can do tighty whiteys or boxer briefs. confinement and i really don't get along. even boxers bug the crap out of me.

Dennum rash is what gets me when I ware no undies.

[ledfingers]

i most commonly wear jeans and have never had an issue. but, i do wear my pants low around the hips so they don't move around much. you just have to always remember to pull OUT and up when done using the restroom. i do need to buy new pants though. i lost weight so they all sit a wee bit farther down than i'd like... crack kills, my friends, crack kills.

[Kasumi]

I dunno but i think there is ever so slight misconception about what hurts men, the old ding dong flapping around takes alot to hurt, and the little sacks of fun you really have to squish em to make em hurt, mild banging of them i dont think is that bad is if they get squished which leaves you in the 5 minute aching agony. So when riding you cant really get them squished too easily so ive probably only hurt them once or twice in all the miles ive ridden and thats just a combination of unlucky positioning and giant potholes.
