Tennis Elbow, I think I've worked it out.

admin | 24 July, 2008 19:29

In my last post about the popularity of the tennis elbow support in the motorcycle world I expressed my suprise that the tennis elbow support had out sold the wrist support by quite a margin. I think I've worked out why!

Many of my friends are into motorcycle adventuring. These are the ones that are suffering with their elbows. I visited a mate yesterday and took a close look at this bike. He's got a BMW 1200GS Adventure. When I parked my Transalp 650 next to it I saw the size of this thing, it was MASSIVE! On top of that he had 40 litre metal mule panniers and loads of added extras. When I expressed amazement at the size of the thing he told me about picking it up when it goes down. He has to grab one of the handle grips and heave with all his might. He showed me and buggered up his elbow! Obviously he bought a tennis elbow support!

My Transalp is classed as a bit whimpy but after some reasonably surgery it's now a fantastic dual sport bike and extremely tough and what's more... when it does do down, I can pick it up nice and easily without the need for a tennis elbow support for a month after!

See you soon
