Bicycle Shorts

 

see, deej's got the right idea. did 1000 miles in 4 days in november (to death valley, 2 170 mile plus days offroad, then the ride back. teamed up with a guy at chapperal motorsports, he did it on a tw200), definally plan on doing it again. i have to ask though, other than gas and water, what all did you bring. i tryed to bring only what i needed and it still seamed like to much.

 

Yeah, it always seem like too much until you need that stuff! Check this out: http://www.4strokes.com/articles/preparin.asp

 

Hey Magoo, Great contribution. I've saved it to my favorites for a future read. As far as the major thread goes, (IE Monkey Butt), I have an '07 and don't find the seat to be a problem for me. We usualy ride 60 to 70 miles in a days trail riding and over some rather tough stuff usually. I admit that a lot of that time is spent standing on the pegs to navigate those trails!! I sure can't see the need to spend major bucks on a better seat at this time. (Just my humble opinion though.)

 

Now can we get a better expert opinion? I don't think so.

 

That monkey butt sure would be comfy to ride on.

 

i did 445km in 9hours....my butt didn't look like that but it felt like it

 

any of you guys wear the riding shorts? i just got a pair but haven't had them out for a good ride yet

 

i normally wear long johns (i get cold easy). i havent tryed riding shorts but i might one day. i have no problems with monkey butt so far.

 

guess you just have to have a hard ***....or be one!....frequent stops help!
