I've been stretching and exercising the hell out of my neck so I can ride my 06 800 SS a bit longer. Seems to be working.
Even so, taking the SS out for an all day ride is quite the exertion. On the way home the other day I hit 90 mph on a local stretch of 2-lane, and holy moly, everything was suddenly perfect.
I should have checked the wind direction, since that can make a difference, but I'll tell you, the wind blast suspended my big ol' body and suddenly I could relax my back, relax my abs, relax my shoulders, and simply let my arms hang down like a praying mantis over the bars. It was heaven.
Of course I couldn't keep it up for long because The Law disagrees with my interpretation of "Freedom," and The Law is more powerful than little old me. But for those few seconds, Nirvana.
