Unfortunate Accident

Well, I spent almost the whole day today on the bike. Met my son and daughter-in-law this morning at my office. When we were getting ready to leave, I mounted the Nomad, kinda plopped into the seat, and then it happened.... I sat on my testicles. Not only was it painful, but trying to hide that pain from observers was a huge challenge. So, as a piece of advice, don't plop, ease ,oh so gently, down into the seat. Especially if you have spectators, an if you are over 50!!

Frank, sounds like you need a "nut bra". A quick check for damage is to lay flat on your back in a full tub of bath water. If they float, go get them checked. ::)

I'm not quite in the same shape as the bull in "Wild Hogs", but I'll pass on the nut bra. Looks too uncomfortable. I'll take my chances on not sitting on them.

Plopping down like that makes you sort of plop up rather quickly though.
