[QUOTE="Scooper, post: 717354, member: 18839"] Here is the deal. Yesterday was too nice to work so I decide to ride. Took the FJ out on a 270 mile ride from Indiana to Kentucky via Hwy 135. Trying to ride in the Master Yoda somewhat but by the end of the six hour ride I'm hurting. Bike has stock seat and no risers. I'm a long armed 6'1" guy so I'm thinking no risers and my butt did not hurt any more than when I ride my Road Star. Am I just pushing it too much too early this spring and need to get in shape or what ? Maybe arching my back too much ? In four weeks I plan to ride 670 miles from Washington, Indiana to Gettysburg then south on the Parkway till it ends but I want to survive the ride. I'm no rookey to riding and have done 700 mile + days but fairly new to the FJR with only 2400 miles on it since I bought it. Be easy on me as it's Thursday :) Scoop [/QUOTE]
