I added a backrest and now its a sweet ride.
See, I'm thinking that could buy me some extra time in the saddle. So you reccommend one? Thanks much.
Play around with back rests and seats. You will fee much better. I just bought one of the larger Mustang Touring seats and it has increased my ride time from 45 minutes to 2 hours. After that I need to stretch. Heck even in a car I am ready to stop and stretch after a few hours.

I've only done about 350 miles, so far. I too have psoriatic arthritis. It was bad enough at one point that it was all I could do to hold a pen, a coffee cup was a two handed affairand at times I could barely walk, even with a cane. There was no way that I could have operated the clutch orfront brake, let alone even get on the bike.

I started giving myself shots of Enbrel (once a week)a little over3 years ago.Afterthefirst injection,my shoulder quit hurting for the first time in over 10 years. Fortunately, I have good insurance. It would be about $1,200 per month, instead of the $80 per month co-pay that I have. Check with your rheumetologist Jack. That stuff has worked wonders for me.
