It sounds like my arse was just the same as yours. For stretches of miles at a time i was gripping the tank with my knees and half standing on the pegs to hover my poor arse off the seat! And that was with an inflatable seat cover thingy!
Hope you enjoy(ed) the rest of the episodes. Another new one coming today....
I did have a screen on the bike, it's hard to make out in the pic, but it is there! But yes, it's not much fun by that stage is it? I'd slow down to about 75/80mph and just stand upright for about 30s, that helps too. Probably got some odd looks in Sweden! I'll look into one of those seat covers for next time, that and probably limit my mileage to 400-500 per day! How long did your roadtrip take and were you riding daily?
Got any pics of the complete bike?
