Ouch! Watch the goods mate!

Or another title:

"Your motorcycle seat and how it could be injuring your manlyhood."

Direct quote from this website:

http://hubpages.com/hub/Motorcycle_E..._That_Kink_Out

"In men, a sheath in the perineum, called Alcock's canal, contains an artery and a nerve that supply the penis with blood and sensation. The canal runs along the side of a bone, and when a cyclist sits hard on a narrow saddle, the artery and the nerve are compressed. Over time, a reduction of blood flow can mean that there is not enough pressure to achieve full erection."

So that's why my "junk" has hurt sometimes when I get off the bike :_98OLVV::

Interesting read none the less...

As a Urologist i see pudendal nerver compression injury all the time but mostly in bike riders rarely cycle riders. Next time your with a bunch of bike riders ask them if they ever ride till their penis goes numb- most will say sure and then ask if thats a bad thing (answer YES!) about 15 years ago i was on national television being interviewed about what we call the dead di() syndrome. We renamed it the penile numbness syndrome for the tv audience. They interviewed a patient of mine who got septic from bacterial prostatitis after a 100 mile ride. he could not feel his penis for a week. Can you imagine admiting that on the 6 oclock national news. anyway its mostly bike seats not motorcycle seats but always be careful. anyway I could not show my face in a bycicle shop for a while after that ran. They kept saying - hey - your that dead di() guy. -

HAHAHAHAH Dead D!ck syndrome that is too funny, but sadly serious.

On another serious note I'd seriously like to talk about boxers vs boxerbriefs since we have a Urologist here.

I wear boxers, and notice that with how "free" everything is down there that during my course of riding in the twisties my goods get moved around and sometimes squished in different uncomfortable positions.

Do you think / feel that wearing boxerbriefs can help keep my goods in one position and help keep my weight on my buttcheeks and not on my bits? Even with gripping the tank with the thighs I have weight on my goods that I can't seem to alleviate. I am very skinny at 5'-10" and 150lbs, basically "I got's no a$$".

Your recommendations, experience and knowledge are appreciated.

I think its the nature of your body and seat- try a different seat- ours tends to curve up as it meets the tank and as you slide forward the goodies get compressed. Im going custom seat.

I think we should discuss this in person. why don't we organize a southern california ride. on a sat or sunday or for the whole weekend. There seem to be more than a few of us in los angeles. For those of you not in LA - its about the size of texas so being in LA dosn't mean we are near each other. but we could meet up one morning at a common place and compare nuts- i mean notes. And I promise ill bring my examining gloves.

I realize my glove joke might make some of you nervous. ok ill leave the exam gloves at home. (fill in your own joke here)

BWAHAHAHAHHAHAHAH Thats some funny stuff right there.

I laughed out loud at work!

I'd love to get together, to ride, nothing more... you keep ur gloves on the bike and your hands to yourself Mr. Urologist.

PM me if you're interested in riding somewhere, lets get a bunch of Triumph's together and go for a ride!

P.S.- Suggestions for rides:

The Rock Store
Angels Crest
Palomar
Idyllwild
PCH? ( Kinda boring )

They could do with a little less forward tilt on the seat.

I am all for balls to the wall but only if I control it. That is why I am looking at building a nut pad for the tank.
