Is it me or the bike??
 

I have done about 2K on my bike since i brought it two months ago, i expected the vibrations on my hands and maybe my feet, however after i have ridden for a while when i get off my privates are numb from the vibration :spanking[1]: :tearyeyed: and feels that i need the toilet with every step. Some times it is just the tip but most of the time its all of it!! I have tried different positions on the seat (further forward or further back) but to no prevail can anyone help!

Try a haemorroid cushion reversed so the U shape is to the front rather than the back. Gel is good, inflatable works. (Mate of mine - honest!!)

I am on my third XTX & have not had this problem.

I commute 25 miles each way on my XT R and yes vibes affect my wedding veg! maybe you could ask the Mrs to rub them when you get home, tell her its for medical reasons!!!

Maybe this problem might been dependent on the size of the package being transported so to speak :smirk:

So the personal effect may vary quite widely and probably explains why I don't seem to suffer too much either :sad10:

I always had it down to the seat being so hard, reduces blood flow to veg parts, I get the same when I'm cycling and cycling in extreme cold weather just means sometimes when you need a piss you will just make a mess of yourself as your best friend has dissapeared

edit
googled it! I new I had read something about it way back and not just dreamed up a medical answer to cover for me being so tiny!

I used to get a fizzy winky as well :toothy12:

I've never had any problems with vibrations or numbness downstairs but like most "all year riders" I do have trouble with him becoming a her in extreme cold!!

That's ever so slightly scary!

thing is with your penis you need to use it as often as you can 'cause you just don't know how long the fun will last :icon_thumright:

Thats what I keep telling mrs stumpydave!!!!

And we allus thought you were called stumpydave cos of the length of yer legs :p

Thats right, , , , , , , , all THREE of em!!:eusa_dance:

I bet you wish you'd never asked, this thread is hilarious (change your name from newt to numb)... Capt have you nothing to say??? surely not....... and so it begins...

On a serious note (lol) sorry.. i did 501 miles (yes the 1 is important) back from north scotty back home in one day on my xtx back bottom numb at times but front bottom always OK obviously one need to do a tinkle here and there bet to get off the bike for this procedure.

First don't grip so hard with your hands and the vibes on the bar won't effect you so much, try to relax you feet and not force them down on the pegs this will also relieve some vibes, as for the front bottom issue, hmmmm is there a Gonad expert here on the forum please? I'm sure there is coz some people do talk a load of old b****cks (sorry couldn't resist)....

no pain no gain
 

has the bike got any mod? ie different exhaust,as mine is standard so no probs there.:017:

The mods i have are, MTC cans, stage 1 and 2 filters, kev fuel mod, o2 eliminator and the suspension spacers. Well when riding i always have to make my mind up if to hang it down the left side or right side of the seat LOL at least its not stoped my performance :Tosser::Tosser: :shsgging: :Tosser::Tosser:

Are you bragging or complaining? :064:

Spectacular thread - I wear padded leathers so I can cover hundreds of miles on an XTX and all I get is a stiff neck. I did 430 miles in 24 hours last weekend and not so much as a tingly digit.

I can only imagine benefits to having numb tackle ("Oh yes honey, I can last all night so long as I do sixty miles on my bike first") - you probably don't see it like this. I was trying to figure if 'package size' and engine speed might be setting up a harmonic vibration and was going to suggest a sprocket change to alter your engine revs at cruising speed - this might also be unhelpful.

Can I suggest you see a doctor and say the words 'Prostate exam'? It sounds like there is more to it if your arse and fingers aren't affected, usually they are the first to suffer.

'cptr

Mebbe Newt should just sling it over his shoulder and see if that helps :p

I'm with Interceptor's "harmonic" theory, however rather than messing with the gearing on the bike to change the natural harmonic frequency's between bike and balls, you could consider circumcision, works the same, just doesn't screw up the bike performance.

ive found that if i tie a pice of string round it i can find it when i get home.:laughing7:

Is that the bike DD?

ON WHAT KINDA BIKE... ave had 11 xt`s an never had that proble,,,, a think y eneed tae visit the Doctor,, an a dont mean Rossi
