Relieve the friction of monkey butt and painful butt rash, when you ride, sweat and sit. | Anti Monkey Butt Powder

Although I am not suffering at the moment I will safe it to my favourites, thanks for that. By the way spent 10 years in Germany and loved every minute of it. Even got to coach a German Rugby Club call Hannover Victoria and a short spell with the German National Team. I suppose that was my 15 minutes of fame? who knows? Thanks for the itching powder lol.

Well not riding fast anymore, a bit laid back really. I am 58yrs young did all my stupid stuff early. I am renovating a barn in south west France and looking mainly at cruisers. However, I did go full circle cruisers - sports tourer - cruiser, so its cruiser.

My english is rubbish, what l should have said was, during my research I started down the cruiser path liking the Vn 900 Custom, then got side tracked with sports tourers, but have come back to looking at cruisers.

His mother was called Herleva who was the humble daughter of a Tanner. He his classed as the best of our Kings so well done you. I just reminded myself of NOregret78 thread today King William died out riding too. Lets not end on a sad note as I am going back to researching my new bike, anybody any ideas.

Steve,

Congrats on your new lifestyle!

Good for you, reading up on how to stay alive!

Never, never forget, it doesn't matter who is/was right or wrong, it is completely up to you to prevent being hurt or killed while riding.

If you take full responsibility for your actions, and are always prepared to take evasive action when the rest of the drivers do not, you'll live to be a happy old biker!

Another safety tip for you guys. Replace that wimpy horn. I almost got hit on the freeway several times because the car to the right of me didn't see me and tried to turn into my lane. One time, there were cars in front, behind and to the left of me there was nowhere to go. I laid down the horn and the guy never even looked over. He just kept talking on his cell phone. I am lucky he was a slow merger. After about 5-6 seconds of me laying on the horn, he finally saw me. A few weeks later I installed an air horn. The volume is more than tripled and I haven't had any close calls since.
