Touring tip.....

[kreinke]

Shamelessly cut and pasted from a ride report on wisconsinmotorcycling.com

Learned something: After a hot 375mile day that ended in the mid 90's and another scorcher coming along with 400 + mile push the next. I thought I'd outsmart the sweaty/ grabby jeans and vinyl gremlin and apply talc to my sweaty jewels beforehand. Surely I had some kind of gold bond powder in my kit!

So after a proper morning shower; I applied it liberally from the belt line down to my rather umkempt toenails, being sure to dust liberally under and behind the twins..( yeah this ol pro is gonna make a sweaty 400miles look easy. So we are dressed and heading out of the hotel room,and wait a minute.. Im getting this warm menthol tingly feeling from the belt down and especialy big jim and the twinsare feeling a little raw,

letting go of the open door and droping my tank bag:
"hold it asecond , honey......"
" whats up now???"
I dig out the bottle of powder...
yeah it's Gold bond FOOT powder MEDICATED.
Lessee "INGREDIENTS": EUCALYPTUS OIL !!!! :doh
Go have some more continental breakfast honey:

I gotta take a shower, I can just imagine this stuff after a full rolling sweat after 300miles. We're talking taliban torture techniques....

...and if you're going to rub Tiger Balm on sore legs, do it *after* pulling your underwear on.

Never had that problem as mine are made of steel.:stick

Best remedy to avoid that problem is Beadrider http://www.beadrider.com/whywood.htm

They make the beads specifically for each model BMW. If you've never tried these, the thought will be that you will feel the beads, however they are super comfortable and keep air flowing between you and the saddle.
