Motorcycle Forum / General / Sportbikes / March 2006Riding's more fun when your thinner
So, when I bought the SV back in Sept. 2004 I complained a bit about riding comfort. Hands and wrist hurt, Back and neck sore, etc. At the time I weighed a hefty 270. Since then I lost some...then gained up to 287. What a porker I was. Riding was a pain as Mu belly got in the way of reaching the bars and being comfortable, in as much as that's possible on an SV 1000S. Since then I've lost plenty; down to 251. Riding is very nice! I can fit my Icon leather jacket now! I can reach the bars! Even my belly doesn't rub up against the tank anymore! Life is gooder!  SignatureT.D.

Or gain forty back and suffer continued back problems, apnea, and eventual heart trouble. Kiss sport riding goodbye. Learn to make excuses why you can't go any faster. One day you'll keel over with your phiz in a bowl of Chunky Monkey ice cream. The survivors will wail and ask, "why, oh God?" Talk to a nutritionist and good, no-bullshit GP. You'll need a "no" doctor, not some quack who prescribes pills for every problem ("yes" doctor). Good luck, keep up the effort. > >Since then I've lost plenty; down to 251. Riding is very nice!

I was 230 lbs in 1994, now I am 163. it came off slow and ive been stable now for 2 years and no longer crave junk food etc...I crave salads now, with baby romaine lettice from Safeway, avacados and tomatoes... and I eat a lot of salmon...and a burger twice a week at burger king. I gave up sandwiches and dairy products. My magic secrets work out 3x a week, lightly..so its fun.. magic will happen after about 6 months...the secret...take it real easy and use a gym with other people around for a lot of reasons. Then phase out one junk food, or dairy product at time and eat a lot of the good stuff...get hooked on that. its not easy. but with time and patience that worked for me...and dont starve yourself... keep well fed. main thing is work out, eat a whole lot of protien... I actually lost weight on 6 eggs over easy a day, with sausages (fried in olive oil)..its the protien we dont get enough of that turns on the cravings. When you work out to build muscle you build the fat burning engine...but thats science... you need 1.5 grams of protien per day approx to build muscle...thats a lot... powered protien shakes are required...you cant eat or digest that much meat for example. you can get charts on how much protien is in various items, 3 grams per egg approx... so 6 eggs is 18 grams. if you weigh 250 lbs you need over 325 grams of protien per day..at least 250 if you want to build muscle. So you can see that food intake alone is not enough to build muscle...its the muscle that puts weight loss into high gear. Then the women start chasing you again...that burns some calories. Digestive enzyme suppliments help digest the protien...those are tricky you need to study up a lot. Phil Scott > Learn to make excuses why you can't go any faster. The stinkin rev limiter on this bike keeps spoling all my fun! My wrist is sore from all the twelve ounce curls, I can only turn the throttle half way open today. I could go faster, but then I'd just get home to eat sooner. Bannon's right, us fat guys can make up some excuses. Anyway, best of luck to ya TD. > > Learn to make excuses why you can't go any faster. > [quoted text clipped - 8 lines] > > Anyway, best of luck to ya TD. GRacias! No excuses here, just overweight and uncomfortable. I'm not looking to be the fastest thing on the street, nor the track. Just having a good time on a fun bike. Besides, here in Northern Delaware there aren't too much in terms of open roads and twisties. Roads are stright and flat, and crowded. Plus aren't any tracks near here, Pocono Raceway is the closest, and I don't believe they run track days there. Said all that to say I'm not concerned about being the fastest, I just want to be more confortable in my own skin. Still, I appreciate the encouragement. SignatureT.D. Hilton 2003 SV1000S > GRacias! De nada. (Prolly outdated, as no one ever says "you're welcome" anymore) > Roads are stright and flat, and crowded. Plus > aren't any tracks near here, Pocono Raceway is the closest, and I don't > believe they run track days there. Track days are way overrated. I'll take a good mountain road anyday. > I'm not concerned > about being the fastest, I just want to be more confortable in my own skin. We share something in common. > > GRacias! > > De nada. (Prolly outdated, as no one ever says "you're welcome" > anymore) I do. My parents taught me manners. Of course, whe I said, "Gracias", i told you all I know about spanish. ;) > > Roads are stright and flat, and crowded.

My other problem is I'm the only one of my friends that ride. There are clubs around but I have no interest in hanging with a bunch of nuts with whom I have very little in common, especially since I don't drink, smoke, cuss, do drugs, or run women.

Wives won't permit it. Besides, while they like bikes, they're a bit scared of them. Better to leave things as they are for them. Better for me to enlarge my circle of friends. Last I check though, there weren't any participants in AMS that live in my area. SignatureT.D. Hilton 2003 SV1000S |
