Commuting to the city for a week has taken its toll. My back now hurts as hell and I can now respect those who hates sportsbikes.

Nepean hwy from moorabbin to elwood -> sucks
then Elwood to st kilda -> sucks
st kilda -> sth melbourne -> extra sucks

took the freeway (M1) to burnley tunnel - warrigal rd - princess hwy -> mega sucks :x ... ever been in the tunnel at 29 or so degrees ? :oops:

glad tomorrow's the last day... then back to suburbia job :D

The one and only time my back has ever hurt riding a bike has been while on a cruiser.

The riding position and lack of anything to grip caused my back to absorb much of the shock of the journey.

Gimme a sport bike any day.

so have yourself a cup of concrete, princess.

151km-160km round trip (difference is freeway vs oph) everyday on the 9 is no problem.
Gotta luv the 9...

Or buy an RSV, ride it for a day, run back into the arms of your ZX-6 sobbing that you'll never doubt her comfort again and sell, nay GIVE me the RSV as a track bike...
