Question about an odd sensation while biking during particularly chilly weather...

...(see details please)? Riding in to work this morning, it was particularly cold, and about half way, I got the oddest sensation that I had, without being aware of doing it, wet myself. It was a rather uncomfortable feeling as you might imagine!

When I got to work, I nervously reached down to check, and was dry as a whistle.

Anyone else ever had a sensation like this, and short of insulated undergarments or not riding in the cold, anyone know a way to prevent it from happening again?

Hi JP I was searching your questions because I've enjoyed reading your posts in R&S. Now I find out we share another passion (bikes not wetting yourself lol)
Last year I had a 2000 DR 350 Dual sport but I sold it. Tthe RPMs at sustained highway speed were so high after only 30 minutes or so especially when it was cold I experienced the exact same thing as you. A fellow dual sporter buddy of mine discribed it as "numb nuts".
Anyways I bucked up $450 U.S. (I'm canadian) for a custom rebuilt "Renazco Racing" seat. The difference was huge. I wound up selling the bike not because of that, but because I got two $175 speeding tickets in the same week on a bike that didn't have enough power ;p
Hope that helps, and keep the shiney side up.... D.D.
