How to take the fun out of riding

And never on the Eyre Highway.

If you find the seams on your undies cutting into you, take them off.
Commando is more comfortable.

The obvious "I'm not dead yet! I'm just resting! "
I didn't want to say I was pining for the fijords in case they decided
to either put 40,000 volts through me or nail my feet to the perch.

Is that the Throttlemeister? The website I saw said they were about
US$250.

Talbingo Dam! I was there at the end of last year.

from the bank, and 15 metres below the surface.

I do have to wonder where you blokes are buying your underwear.

And if your Significant Other is buying them for you, then I suggest
you ask them what you have done to annoy them...

When riding to BrisVegas from Townsville, I usually like to leave around
2am. I have brekky in Mackay around 6am and I can get to Brissie before
sundown.

 

What underwear?...

 

Right you are. Home was 1206km on the odo from Raymond Terrace, which
is where I'd refuelled before I stopped in Singleton for the night.
That was 5 years ago, and the only time I've ridden that end of the New
England. R.T. seemed a lot closer to Singleton than it looks on the map
now. And it was Putty Rd, Blaxlands Ridge, Lithgow, Bathurst, Cowra,
Binalong, hit the Hume at Bookham, etc.

At least then you wouldn't fall off. The perch, that is.

No, The inside end of the new weight is threaded and has a plastic ring on
it with large knurls. Turning it top to rear, moves it towards another ring
which then contacts the end of the twistgrip, putting pressure on it. Works
great. $140. Mario was worried because it was black and he thought my
weights were chrome. They're black.

Theo

 

Are you saying we should be wearing French knickers? I wear Rio mostly.

So are mine.. time to ring Mario!

Zebee

 

Tell him Theo sent you.

Well, for longer trips, I used to have silk underpants, which were good,
but then I discovered pushbike nixs, complete with inbuilt incontinence
pads. Luxury!

Angie keeps buying stuff second hand, and I keep asking who is this
pervert Kalvin Kline and why should I wear his knickers.

Yeah, and we all know that's a bit of an issue for me *sigh*..... so -
no dead sheep. Fortunately I have a fair bit of padding of my own, and
have so far only had bikes with comfortable seats.

Another thought. If you're planning on a long ride, getting a good
massage a few days before you leave can help (works before long plane
flights too), and if you start getting sore en route, a massage on a
rest day will make the rest of the trip more enjoyable. Most big
shopping centres (down in Melbourne at least) have those booths full of
Chinese masseurs who only charge $20 for a shoulder, back or leg massage.

The non-alcoholic wipes are good in hot weather for cleaning your face &
hands when you stop, and can also save you when public toilets have no
toilet paper, or where there are none where you really need them.

Always carry a toilet roll when going touring. You can blow your nose with
toilet paper but you can't wipe your bum with a tissue.

You're getting help, aren't you?
