Greetings folks. Wondering if anyone else has had this problem on long rides. Just completed 1400 miles out to Big Bend NP and back to Austin, TX...I have GS R1150, 2002..im 5' 8" and I'm fit. Ive done long rides before and got a neck problem. It resolves over time. This is serious stuff, because Im planning on riding 15,000 miles from Austin down to Buenos Aires next January with Nick Sanders Group World Challenge. What the heck can I do to alleviate this problem..Is the bars not adjusted, the seat, my heavy Kevlar jacket, my Schuberth helmet, my position. Im trying to solve this step by step. Or is it possible this bike just is too big for me and I need to gear it down: like getting a R 100GS Paris Dakar airhead? I dont have this problem when i ride my R90/6 1976. I know I'm getting older but come on man...this aint age. I dont ride tense, although i was buffeted by crosswinds for 150 miles on I10. Thoughts??? Yes, yoga is great. But I want to treat the cause.
