urinating on long rides

It's called a toilet.

Get off the road, use the bathroom and get back on the road.

Catheter bag FTW!

DOOD!! LMAO!!

thanks for the sarcasm

i would but its not for me. you have to understand truckers use these too. its a common practice for long distance drivers and riders. i personally would just stop bc i ride a ninja, but an interstate biker has different preferences. stop being jerks.

Seriously. I'm not being a jerk. Catheter bag FTW. Cheap, and you can buy them at drug stores. If you are seriously looking to avoid a two minute rest stop (and increase your chances of deep vein thrombosis, fatigue, muscle spasms, and a host of other maladies) a catheter bag is the way to go.

F The World. Mostly among 1%'ers, I think. Although I have my days.

And honestly...if you don't have TWO MINUTES to stop at a roadside rock or tree and whiz the old-fashioned way...you need to just take a flight.

Driving that long without a rest puts you and everyone else on the road in danger. Talk about a jerk...

Oh now guys, let's not call this guy names! If he knows they're common among long distance truckers, I can't understand why he didn't figure out that stopping at a truckstop and asking a driver would be the best approach to his question!?!?

Speaking for old guys, diabetics, kidney problems weak bladder, etc...some just don't have the time to wait. It's a legitimate problem and Danny sounds like a good son to want to get his Dad, anything he asks of him.

I must agree, while I don't like the idea of this, and presonally, think it's gross, as does the son, he's only doing what is dad asked for.

Maybe there is a medical condition, or maybe it's just old age. Who knows.

I do recall once when I went fishing with my dad's ex-wife's father. He was so scared to lean over the side of the boar after lunch, and a soft drink, that he used his sandwich bag to pee in. It took him 3 fills to empty his bladder. It was somewhat of a gross experience, but quite humurous to think about and picture.

One of the things we learned in combat training is that if a buddy got wounded, and there was no fresh water around, urinate in a helmet and clean out his wound with urine. Unless you have an STD of some kind, your urine is stirile. Because of the ammonia content, very few bacteria can live in it.

I've often wondered why we go into a restroom, urinate, and THEN wash our hands. We've just left all kinds of bacteria in our pants!!!! We should wash our hands first.

But, there are those that do have STD's, and I'm most appreciative that they wash their hands afterward!

I'm age 67, and Maico has a point. I had to buy a porta potti to put in my garage so I don't have to troop into the house all dirty from yard work every 10 minutes or so to use the bathroom. Some of us oldtimers do have problems in that area!

OK maybe...

OK maybe I'll buy the dad could have medical issue, even though Dannymsu1 never mentioned it. and thought it gross himself. But Dannymsu1 has an Eclipse electronic license plate blocker he has faked out the cops with.

What medical/psychological condition can you guys imagine/speculate for that? (see license blocker post by Dannymsu1)

No one in the family likes to stop for anything. OCD or a bad case of SFB ?

Ride safe & long... but stop when it is appropriate!

How to urinate on long rides.......?

How to block your license plate......?


Hey! Does anyone know where I can get a cup holder for my bike to hold my beer?

Of course a urine bottle and a license plate blocker will come in very handy with this.

Now thats funny!

I hadn't thought of that (medical) condition, maybe you are onto something!

Reminds me ... when I was working at the parts store I used to work at, this guy came in more frequently than was desired. Another guy I worked with noticed this latex hose coming from his jacket and noticed a yellowish colorliquid in it. He inquired about it, and he had a bladder system made into his jacket full of beer that he would sip on while he was riding.

Scary ...

Hopefully he wasn't crossing hoses with his mobile relief system...

I agree about the son doing the best he can for his poppa...I'm just of the mindset that peeing while speeding CAN (not necessarily WILL) lead to some health and sanitation issues, not to mention the aforementioned 'road hypnosis' from riding too long without a break.

My intentions are not to be cruel. My intentions are to participate in the discussion and hopefully add something USEFUL.

Cecil, go up and read my previous comment concerning urine being stirile. As gross as some people think it is, it has saved lots of lives in combat situations.
