Why does no one talk about this, how to avoid monkey butt

How to protect your bum and prevent monkey butt on a motorcycle is a big topic but one that no one seems to talk about. In this video I am going to share my top tips built from my experience of doing extreme long distance endurance desert rally’s and how to keep your bum and genitals happy on a motorcycle. These tips vary in their cost, but for the ultimate effect I recommend all 5.
Top tips for bum comfort on a motorcycle:
1. Custom motorcycle seat for improved comfort - my seat is by Caulfield Leather www.caulfieldleather.co.uk/ it is worth noting they will do any motorcycle seat from street bike cruiser, adv, you send them your seat and they will re foam, gel and upholster it
2. Anti chaff cream. Designed to reduce friction and also help control bacteria that is apparent with high levels of sweat you would anticipate when doing extreme sports - amzn.to/3EN6rjJ this is the same cream used by professional cycling athletes
3. If you get sore both on your bum and your lips, use Germolene. My top rally hack tip is Germolene on your lips instead of any kind of lip solve. It is an antiseptic and antibiotic cream that helps cracked skin, so it is amazing for your lips or sore bum - amzn.to/3PwowaK
4. Sweat wicking seamless cycling impact shorts. The key is to make sure they are a seamless technical layer, you do not want to wear cotton on a motorcycle ever, due to its ability to hold and store moisture which will ultimately lead to chafe. Also, the added padding of cycling shorts supports with the fatigue on your saddle
5. Technical base layers. Depending on the temperature of the riding conditions you are in you want to make sure you are wearing the correct base layers on your skin. These should be sweat wicking and temperature appropriate to your environment. It may seem slightly counter intuitive but having full length base layers even when in a 52-degree desert race will still keep you cooler than having other materials on your skin due to the moisture wicking technology. I do wear my impact shorts underneath my base layers to prevent chafe from the material pattern of the technical layers being on your skin. I am a big fan of the Alpinestars base layers
Hopefully this gives you a few tips to help keep your bottom comfortable on longer motorcycle rides, whilst I am talking about this in an intense enduro race environment these tips will still work for your usual everyday touring conditions.

On my 2600 Tour on a CT125 (reknown for being uncomfortable) I had an inflatable seat. My backside was in agony for the First 2 Days, then on the Isle of Wight, a guy called Skelly said, why have you fully inflated your inflatable seat? He said I needed to take all but the last of the air from it so that my bum could find it’s level….it was Game-changing… VIVA! Dean

Pressure point is always my painful part. Just bought some seamless padded shorts so hopefully that'll help. Last year my wife and I attended the women in motorcycling exhibition, and a really interesting speaker was a lady stunt rider. For the first time in over fourty years of riding it was the only time I've heard a female rider talk about how periods effect her moods and riding ability. I know a fair number of female riders including wives and partners but it was an eye opener to hear her, maybe it's still a taboo subject. Never seen a mention in the bike press or even social media, yet something that effects thousands of riders every month..

@@TheGirlOnABikeHave you looked into comments about this from women who have changed to exclusively carnivore diets? I've been eating only carnivore for 15 months - fatty grass fed rump steak and salt, most days a barramundi fillet, and plenty of spring water and mineral water. Strongly positive effects on body, including rapid injury recovery, and on mind, better focus, more stable mood. Do you know of Charlene Anderson? If not try searching charlene anderson carnivore. Her open approach to this topic is similar to yours. Interview with her perhaps?

A couple little tips that might serve some people: - Talcum powder, also known as baby powder. This is something that hiking and military service introduced me to. Use it anywhere you want to keep dry. Excellent used after washing up, such as when you camp for the night, as it will keep that chafed skin dry and comfortable. I often use it inside my socks as well. I guess you could use it during the ride too, though I'm not sure how it would work together with chamois creme. Note: If the skin is actually broken, then probably best to use some medicinal creme like Vanessa recommends. - Make sure your skin gets to breathe at night. If you have to use underwear, then maybe it's best to have something other than cotton as it's quite good at collecting moisture. Perhaps some airy merino wool would be good? - When using chamois creme, do not double dip. Especially if your friend is giving you some of theirs because you didn't get any. 😅

Anyhow, I want to thank you for being so open about our condition. As an old-man it impacted me and I am sure that it would be so great for younger Vitiligans ( Is that a word or did I just invent one) I end all of my videos with the following mantra: Go forth with an open mind and most importantly an open heart, and remember that self-care is not selfish!

I really could have used this info last weekend. Right now, I'm suffering a rather uncomfortable week sitting at my desk.

I have custom seats on all of my motorcycles. No different than custom suspension, worth every penny. Very much like a custom tailored suit vs off the rack suits; it just fits better and makes you feel better.

Nice, thanks for the practical tips. I was using an AirHawk on my Tenere 700, loved it for the whole 4 hours i got to use it on the road, then I went off road and lost it somewhere within 40 minutes of being on the Italian off road passes… DOH!! Custom seat is next I think…

They do allow you to strap those down on the seat. But yeah, custom seat is the best way, just quite pricey.

For dirtbiking I stand as much as possible. It helps me keep better control, and saves me from chafing too easily. On long rides the 2x4 seats don't help much when I get too tired and start actually using the seat. Haven't done anything as long as that rally though.

@TheGirlOnABike 9 ай бұрын

Yea 100% but as you said on long rides sometimes you just need to sit down and rest, or when it is long road stages!
