If you are tired on the motorcycle - despite a break!

It's probably the most dangerous situation for every biker: You're on a tour of the Alps or a long stretch of motorway heading south, and suddenly your eyes start to burn. Concentration wanes, the ideal line in the curve becomes unclean, and the worst feeling of all creeps in - a leaden weight on your shoulders that cannot be shaken off by even the strongest sip of coffee at the gas station.

Many motorcyclists are familiar with the phenomenon Tiredness despite breaks. You stop every two hours, have a drink, stretch your legs, but as soon as the visor is down again, the exhaustion returns. Why is that? Why is “normal” rest often not enough when riding a motorcycle? In this comprehensive guide, we analyze the biological, physical and psychological background of “biker fatigue” and show you how to break the vicious circle of exhaustion. Read more

You know the feeling: the tour was perfect, the curves were smooth, but on the way home it starts. First there is a slight pulling sensation, then a burning pain in the neck that radiates to the shoulders. Many of us accept this as a “normal” phenomenon, but if we are honest, it seriously spoils the fun of driving.

What is often dismissed as mere tension is, from a medical perspective, a highly complex interplay of biomechanics, aerodynamics and ergonomics. Riding a motorcycle is not passive sitting; it is a peak sporting performance for your musculoskeletal system, especially for your cervical spine (cervical spine). In this deep dive, you'll find out exactly what happens in your body when you step on the gas and how you can stay pain-free with targeted strategies and technical know-how. Read more
