Tips, based on a long tour a couple of years ago:

- Stop and get off the bike once per hour, even if it's only for a minute to walk around. This does wonders.

- Move around on the bike a lot. Shift your weight, slide forward and back, weight the pegs, tuck, sit up, change hand position…. everything you can think of. If you just sit on your a$$ for hours on end you'll wind up with monkey butt. If you move around you'll feel a lot better.

I'm planning on doing a 700 mi road trip from Vegas to San Jose (with a stop at LA then off to SJ). Google Maps suggests it's going to be a 9 hour drive total. I've driven going 100 on a car but when the Ninjette goes on 80-85 it starts screaming.
