>MF-  Are your leathers too tight? ;o)

ROTFL - No I wear IXS Gortex which are roomy enough to accommodate my ample
bulk.

I find that the ST is at the limit of comfort for long journeys. By this I
mean I would not like to tour around Europe 2 up on a bike that had higher
pegs or lower bars.  But if I get off and have 10 minutes walking around
after 3 hours then I find I can go on for another hour or so and  so on.

I have spent 11 hours almost continuously in the saddle (with breaks) but
found during the last 100 miles or so I was starting to hurt :-(
