Do any of you have any hobbies that have been effected by this? I live on my motorcycle and today I attempted to sit on it and couldn’t get off it fast enough. I’m hoping after healing I can be my old self again.

Trust me, there will be no problem riding a motorcycle. Give it another month. If you are riding a dirt bike in motocross maybe two months or so. I have owned a few bikes and although I don't own one now I know I could ride one with no problem at 8 weeks post-op.

Opie,
You are way too early in your recovery to be comfortable. I do not have a motorcycle, but I ride a bike with high seat and low handlebars so I am leaning forward putting way more pressure on my junk than you would. I bike about 10 miles at a time an no problem at all. It just takes time.

I had big issues sitting on some machines for a long time due to the perineal portion of the implant. Kept a towel handy to fold for padding for a while. The Tip extenders on a Titan are a lot larger in diameter than the flimsy little ones on an AMS. I have no padding or fat at all down there, but that has resolved in whatever fashion the body dealt with it. Give it time sir. Beautiful bike.

I'm on my third implant (Titan) over a period of 5.5 years......
My hobby is young women. My hobby has been tremendously effected in very positive ways......
BUT....closer to your REAL question: I'm an old guy who rides bicycles with the grandkids, (they can actually out ride me by now). After my first implant, I searched and found a bicycle seat with "no horn". I used it for a while and then realized...I didn't need that seat, so I went back to my "Cheeks" big fat soft beach cruiser seat. The implant makes ABSOLUTELY NO DIFFERENCE for my bicycle riding......Good Luck man!!!
