and "ride less" isn't good advice. Not an option :chair:
So far I've been loving my vrod. fast, reliable, excellent build quality, and shiny too. I've put a few miles on it and and have only one real complaint.
When I make road trips (mainly from college station to houston tx), its not the wind or the handlebars or even my ass that gets me. After about 45 minutes of highway riding, my legs get tired; they feel like they are being pulled apart and that i need to work real hard just to keep my kness near the engine. If they get this tired after 1.5 hrs of riding, i can't imagine trying to put on 300 miles or so trying to take a trip to new orleans.
I'm a shorter rider i suppose (about 5'8") and need to figure out what to do about feet positioning to let my inner thighs relax. and man, i really don't want to think about my inner thighs when i'm riding!
I don't think its just the windblast, but instead just holding my legs up for an hour. Does anyone else experience this problem and are there remedies? So far my only solutions involve jamming my feet under the brake pedal and shifter which puts stress on the tailbone and lower back.
thanks for the help!
