Good to hear updates....what about the comfort Anutz???

so this is an interesting one..


On one hand i have had no issues with my back or neck, which i expected would drive me insane, after lots of long rides, no pain....with the issues i have in my lower back, sponylolithesis, i would have expected issues, but if anything the position for me allowed less pressure on the back, and lots of work done by the legs. It took some getting used to, but the benefits were obvious when at speed and cornering....low speed movement for me was an total pain in the ass, but its not means for that.


The only issue i had was that the operation of the throttle caused some weakness in my right pinky, and other fingers, Ulnar Nerve Entrapment is what i am told its called, and it can usually happen as the nerve gets pinched at the elbow or in the wrist, so i think, and my physio agrees, its in the wrist....i would feel such a stretch in the outside of my wrist and the fingers would be a little weak, the outside palm numb....


Literally after a week or two of consistent riding when i was on holidays, lots of 2-3 hour stints, flared it up, seems ok now but any more than an 1.5 hours and its niggles me, so i take a break, but its also less of an issue now i am relaxed on the bike and have got to grips with it, also i try to grip the throttle lower down my palm so less extension at the wrist is needed to open the throttle up...


So....good points, i.e. forces you into a position and angle to go "with" it...and before you know if you have finished the corners at speed.....very much feel like you are part of the bike....


bad, some issues with the throttle angle, at least in my case, but am sure all riders, in particular on a sports bike do have some niggles they work around.


will add more updates as i am sure i will have more mind changes....will add some more comments on Flakeys responses as its also a consideration


Anutz!
