Default Riding underwear.

Hey I was wondering if any of you guys out there wear a special riding underwear with padding in the rear. I was looking at some and I didnt know if you guys have any experiance or preference with any kind. I think it might just be us little guys, i dont have much padding back there so after even 45 min of riding my butt feels like it wants to fall off!! Thanks.

I use UnderArmour TurfGear or CoolStuff Pants for my legs. It helps to keep me cool or warm, and it makes it easier to slide my leathers on and off.

With regards to preventing a numb (_|_), it might be your bike's seat. What do you ride?

Well that shouldnt be a problem, i have a 954rr but I have the corbin seat, that really helped, but those long rides just hurt. All i think i really need is some shorts with some padding, I think that will do the trick.

Maybe its the way you position your ***?....How far back do you sit?...Or How far up?...I find using the wider part of the seat towards the rear doesnt hurt as much...

Don't forget to weight your pegs if you're sitting for a long time. You don't want to leave too much weight sitting on your @$$.

You'll get used to it. I've had several bikes and the f4i/600rr/954 are the hardest seats ever. When i switched from my gixxer to my 600rr my *** got sore for the first couple long rides I did but now I dont even notice anything.
Corbin seats are comfy but terrible for performace riding. They are really bad on sliding and seem to grip leathers way too much making so you pretty much have to lift your *** off the seat to move around. Can't believe your *** hurts from with a corbin. You must really have a boney *** hahaha. How long have you been riding this bike? Go to a bicycle shop, they'll have some stuff for you.

Bring a bottle of baby powder to the track and put it on the *** of your leathers and seat. Works great.
