Padded underwear?

[Wolf]

So here in TX, there's this set of roads called the 3 Twisted Sisters.... but they're quite a bit west of Austin (~3hour ride to get there, and 3 hours back).

With my cotton Hanes boxer-briefs and Levis, by the time I reach the roads, my ass is already pinkish, to say nothing about after the ride and getting back home (~450miles total).

Since there are very few good roads here in TX, I need some way to be able to tolerate hitting the 'Sisters' more frequently without wearing my ass raw.

What are some recommendations for something for padded underwear so I can actually enjoy the ride rather than rushing to get home?

Bike shorts work fine. You might also consider that the issue may have as much to do with moisture as pressure. If that's the case, the Beadrider lets the air flow and keeps things from getting too damp. :teeth

I've heard people say to use anti-monkey butt or whatever, but I dunno if moisture is really the problem (I could be wrong though)..

 

[flying_hun]

Kind of humid where you are, isn't it?

Assless chaps.



I've also heard that the Mormons have some kind of special underwear......to save/protect their souls? Maybe it helps with monkeybutt?

Both are def worth a try. Make sure you post the video

This!

Any cycling shop will have padded, moisture wicking shorts.

However, for a 3 hour ride one way, my suggestion is to trailer your motorcycle. Rent a U-Haul truck or trailer for a day. Get there fresh and ready to ride. Get home relaxed. It's inexpensive.

If you like doing this, put a trailer hitch on your car and buy an inexpensive folding trailer (Harbor Freight, etc). Just about any car can tow a motorcycle. Ride only the fun stuff.

:rofl:rofl:rofl Oh yes!!!

The HRC 'equality' sticker on my bike doesn't draw enough looks down here, the ass-less chaps would just solidify the decision by the locals to drag me behind a pickup. :nchantr

Eh.... I understand the benefits, but I'd rather not be a trailer queen, ya know?

I used to spend hours riding 9 and have no problem, but in this case 3 straight hours on the highway causes issues (maybe I'm getting old? :wow ).

No, I don't know.

Saying that you'd "rather not be a trailer queen" just sounds as if you're parroting something you think a "real motorcyclist" or "real man" would say.

In other words, it sounds a little silly, like you have some sort of notion about what real motorcyclists are and you so desperately want to be one. If that's the case, then a real man like you should definitley stay away from padded underwear.

:thumbup I second these. Great product, just get the ones for your particular riding style.

I couldn't handle riding that far in jeans. I would stress the whole time.

I wear bike shorts under my leathers. Also, under my jeans on horseback, which is far more uncomfortable then any motorcycle I've ridden :laughing

There's a place called seat concepts that will fix up your seat really nice..

Yep; you can have your seat changed to anything by just about any good upholstery shop...

But the "Beadrider" I know dozens that swear by them for long rides. The trick apparently is spreading the "contact" area, & getting air under your butt. I've never tried (most of my rides are short), but someday I'll likely get one riders like them so much. Pic:

Good bike shorts will run you over 50 bucks. Coat the chamois of the bike shorts with udder butter: http://www.bagbalm.com/

All chaps are assless, otherwise they'd be pants.
