When I'm riding my 900RR, my goodies are already up
against the tank, because the design of the Corbin seat
tends to move you forward.
Wouldn't the major danger to one's cajones be due to
accelerating into and then being stopped by the tank? If
you're already there, there wouldn't be an impact
problem, would there?
