Before my question, a few quick facts.

• I'm 63, back operation a few years ago.
• I like sport bikes, and my back likes the riding position.
• I have a 2022 Ninja 650. Not an extreme riding position in any way.

My problem is that on long rides, my legs really hurt, and sometimes cramp up. I usually do stretches before riding, and this helps a great deal, but then the pain and cramps start up after an hour or so of riding.

I think the answer is to pull off and rest, but, doing that today only alleviated the pain and stiffness for a few minutes.

Any other suggestions?

Thanks!

Hi Brian, I think these are worth a try:

Motorcycle Performance Compression Sock - Moto-Skiveez (motoskiveez.com)

There are positive rider opinions in the review section

Brian. Sometimes you just have to listen to your body and take a rest too. No shame in that. I'm a little younger than you and I usually have to take five on the side of the road.

On another note, Tucson huh? There's a bike rally this Saturday the 18th in Bisbee, Brewery Gulch area. The Prowl. Pre-party that Friday in Naco. Mostly choppers and customs but it's a lot of fun if you're interested.

As a lifetime lone wolf, I've recently decided to change my ways.
I joined an old fart riding group called the retreads.
That said, I think its going to rain this weekend. I'm not afraid to ride in the rain, but I treat my bikes like faberge' eggs.

Except of course when I'm blasting down the highway at 90.

Try a magnesium supplement, worked for me.
