Default Swollen Testicles

I figure the title will draw a crowd. Is anyone else's nuts getting TKO'd while they ride? Since the R6 seat slopes toward the tank, I cant help but slide up into the tank while riding. I try to move back often but slide foreward every acceleration and brake. My cousin's gixxer's seat is plush as hell and doesnt slope so its very comfy. When you sit on it, it forms to your ass and you dont slide. Is there an aftermarket seat for R6's that angles back up in the front or something so my balls aren't so abused?

Get a banana seat man...oh also, probably the wrong section to be posting....if this was about swollen nuts from a night of hot sex, the watercooler is the place to post...

My balls get beat to hell when I am riding 2 up on the 6. I don't understand why, its sucks, I can't take the girl for a long ride because I will just feel like I am abusing the boys. Ohh well.

The worst is when you land a wheelie hard, that really wakes you up. When just casually riding I usually have to shift around a little.

Maybe some Gucci Seat covers will help. I hear they're popular now-a-days.

My worst experience ever was when i was riding to a friends house one night. There was a construction area with some rough spots. When i got to the rough area i stood on the pegs and up a few inches off the seat. Well.. i hit a bump much larger than I thought there'd be in the middle of the road. The bike bucked up and the seat slapped my nutz so hard into my taint that i almost fell off in pain. I pulled over and had to regain my ball bearings for a few min.

Hang on with yer knees, man! If you're sliding forward and getting...er... abused under braking, it's a good sign that you're holding yourself up with your arms instead of with your back and legs.

Your arms are for steering. Your legs and torso are for holding on/positioning.

If you insist that it's the bike's fault, you could try shaving the seat to reshape it, or a gel pad to ...er... provide better grip for your ass.
