    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.

    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.

    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
