This return to work malarkey has left me little time to do much else. I have decided therefore, that I am too young to be old!
Ha, if only! Yesterday I went upstairs to get something or other, got partway up, stood there trying to remember, then my wife asked if I was going up or coming down. "Don't remember," I told her, and I didn't. Still can't remember what it was I wanted.I am too young to be old!
And you had to sit in a bath tub with them on because they were not pre-shrunk. You bought over-size and the only way to a perfect fit was to have indelible blue stained legs for months on end.^^^And the jeans were hard as bricks when new.

When you finally have to admit, you can no longer ride a motorcycle with clipon handlebars, for much more then a few miles!

I don't recall wearing them wet (although "real" huaraches demanded to be broken in on the wearer's feet, but first soaked in water, although some swore by used crankcase oil), but those 501s of my early years were unwearable unless washed and dried first. I recall the discharge water from the washer being bright blue.
Actually, it's not my back, it is nice on the back, far better then the sit up and beg riding position. It's my hands when I am going slow, or in the mountains. Also, there is a muscle in the back of my upper arm, that must only be used when I am using the throttle. Excruciating after and hour!Low bars (let alone clipons) are reasonably comfortable only when traveling at speed. The wind kinda holds you up and takes the strain of your back, as I'm sure you know.
