Update of 08/12/2002

This weeks rant is about the relativity of comfortable seating. I think it is general knowledge that sports bikes have seating so that it optomises rider control and weight distribution. Unfortunately this usually means an uncomfortable position for the rider. el. However if you have the right sort of body of the bike it could be quite comfortable ! And of course a Tourer has a nice comfy seat of extended travell. What has this got to do with anything ? – Read on.

Well, my friend Brad was complaining that his BMW RT was giving him the back aches lately. Now I reckon the RT is one of the most comfy bikes on the planet. I checked it out and it was fine. Then I noticed his bulge ! No guys and gals- his wallet (you dirty minds). He just got a new one and it one of those 3 part jobies which unfortunately doesnot fold up very flat and keeps it in his back pocket. I suggested it out as a joke to put it somewhere else instead of sitting on it and guess what happened – no more pain.
