[ST] long distance riding tip



Here's a tip for those of you doing long days in the saddle. I thought this
was basic knowledge, as it's something I've been doing for the last 21
years, but some of the other rallye riders had never tried it so I thought
I would pass it along.

If you find yourself riding solo in wide open spaces (Hwy 50 in Nevada? I
think that qualifies!) and won't need to shift for awhile, slide back
further on the seat and tuck your feet onto the passenger foot pegs.
That'll shift your weight off of your butt for a bit and it also gives your
knees a break. A further benefit is it allows you to tuck onto the tank a
bit better, giving your arms and shoulders a break too.

Doing this while riding 2 up will probably get you a jab in the side from
your passenger. :^)
