Achin' elbows

[Rod]

:( After long rides i get a real ache in my elbows, Just wondering if anyone else gets problems. I heard some people get it in their wrists, I guess it depends on the type of bike you ride, mine is more the crusier sytle. But hey, theres no cure for old age ;D

I get aching in my knees every so often. Since I had my off I've had aching knees constantly tho.

Can't say I've had aching in the elbows, and mines cruiser.

Why do they call them Cruisers? More like battleships aren't they ;)

I get pins and needles in my right hand every time I ride, just on the thumb and forefinger - it's very very annoying! waiting to see if it still happens on the new bike though - it may be the way I'm sitting

Wuss ;D

Try putting wider handlebars on your cruiser. I changed mine from standard to XLX bars which they use in the 883 series in the states and its much easier, feels a bit odd at first, but the leverage increases threefold.

i get back ache, shoulder ache, butt ache.... it goes on but i wouldn't wanna give u a head ache ;)

Thanks HC, All noted about the bars, Mines only a 250, so I am thinking about keeping it untill next spring and then getting a Harley, if the kids havn't spent all the money I want a Super Glyde or Soft tail but will probally end up with a Sportster. I have had a look at a couple and I think the bars make the bike look right, I am not a lover of thoes straight bars on high risers....Cheers ....Rod

[evilkeneval]

I don't get any achces or pains really, when i got a pillion i sometimes get pins and needles in my right hand though

[Rod]

All Noted From Harleychick about the bars, as the Bike is gone now, I have a new one, I still want to change the bars, mine are wider and straighter on higher risers, but I want to change them to the ones like I had on the Raptor, which are standard on some Harley models although I do not know what they are called...... 8-) It has to look good as well ;D

[mike]

How about sticking some clip-ons on it, would certainly look different ;D ;D
