Numb Butt And Freezing
Hi, I've posted this elsewhere. However I leave shortly from UK to Ushuaia to collect my Honda 125 Cargo and ride north to Duchess County, NY. Riding south from Mexico I faced two pains: the seat and keeping warm. I tried a sheepskin on the seat, better, but still a pain after a few hours. The warmth is a bigger problem as I will be riding into winter. I need to keep weight down and I don't have much luggage space. I must carry smartish clothes for interviewing people in the city. For the road, I need warm clothes that fold into a thimble. I wore layers on the way south over the alteplano and Andes - everything I carried. However I am 74: when old men need to go, they need to go in a hurry. All those layers lead to embarassment. Plus, in my blue Peruvian rain suit, I resembled a large blue balloon which is bad for the ego(see photo on blog of Mexico to Ushuaia at home) Any ideas would be much appreciated.
