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.
Casper,WY to Moses Lake,WA on a 1961 FL. Couldnt walk staight for a couple days after but had to get home quick.
6 volt electrics through Montana at night is certainly an interesting experience!

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.
