Re: My road trip

Thanks Patrick I rode with a my brother in law on a V-Star yesterday my bike was able to maneuver on the curves, and was more reponsive than his. When it came to hills and straight aways that was another matter.

Easy the seat worked very well, I had to shift positions occassionally but that is was it. Now between my shoulders was another matter. I don't know if it's my posture, or handle bar positioning or what. But with the seat fixed I made one stop after 150 miles, and my average distance with out stopping was 80 to 90 miles.

I started with posting 3 pictures on a message, and while the third was uploading my browser just stopped working. I felt like I could at least get them on if posted one per message. :2tup:

The bars are adjustable, quite a bit actually. I pullled mine back; more comfortable with my short arms. Still need to re-adjust the shield though.

I am making small improvements with my seat. The last test started out very good; no "seat" pain but a little discomfort in the back and legs.......that I probably just didn't notice with a bigger pain elsewhere. Alas, the last half of the trip (180 miles total), the old butt cramp came back so I'm not quite there yet.

Please don't let my silly REI snapshots be the only use of Patrick's 4 hours of programming. Sooner or later I might run into some of you people and I've got adult children I'm still supporting.

Rusty, it's easy to make a slideshow and, also free: www.photobucket.com. You took some nice shots.
