How to prevent 'monkey-butt' ?

[Nathan S]

I'd still have to bare my lycra'd form to whoever was nearby while putting my riding pants on. I'm way too shy for that

Not sure how lycra covered bits are more offensive than those exact same bits laid bare?

.....get up on the pegs and stay there...

After I rode my 1st A4DE, I swore I'd work out how to get rid of the dreaded monkey butt. Here are my recommendations :-
1) NO Jocks - EVER! Now, I'm not suggesting a commando frenzy but rather boxer styled cotton/lycra blend undies. They make a HUGE difference. Just ensure there is no seams anywhere around the gooch section!

2) Hemorrhoid cream. Apply enough to leave the cheeks feeling "rosy". The antibacterial properties stop any nasties from infecting. UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES should you EVER entertain using vaseline. Why would you ever rub petrol near the boys?

3) Stand. It's surprising how quickly the MIND adapts. The legs are the biggest muscle group we have but it's the mind that gives in 1st. Standing becomes second nature soon enough.

Just got back from a weekend on the moderns up at Coffs with the Detour guys and suffering badly as well as I forgot the 'Skins'.

The Skins bike shorts are pricey but they last for years, coupled with baby nappy rash powder (Curash) which is water proof and keeps the skin dry while sweating seems to work a treat

Cheers

The night before riding I apply a generous amount of 3B cream, available from your local chemist. This stuff is so good ya just go riding sans undies, hangin' loose. Never had monkey-butt since (even though I look like a Silverback). Found its no good for pullin' though.

I think we need to go back to thicker seats and get rid of the gripper seat covers,I can ride my yz all weekend with no problem but  30 minutes on my modern and your suffering  :'( :'(

In the 60-70's on Short Circuit & Speedway, most set's of leathers were not lined.
There was a full "Jumpsuit' available, similar to the material of  today's Skin's, commonly known as a "Sexy Suit".
I think the WAG's called them that.

Funny you say that, Scotty. Cos I've found the exact opposite.
Unlike me to be different...... 

Even touring on one of my old Safari bikes, this seat with the gripper top and rock-hard foam was always better than the stocker.
Might also be because it's height made it easy to go from sitting to standing so I spent more time standing...... dunno......

  good work Hilly, although watching someone do something quite similar earlier this year i think that move is called " The Gruber"
