I had just bought my 1098 when I was in early pregnancy with Caitlyn... rode until the bump made it too uncomfortable (like Moira said, that whole muscles twitching that need not be twitching thing).

I think people should do whatever they are comfortable with within reason, I suppose. But everyone's definition of "reason" varies widely. The people that gave me the most grief were non-motorcyclists.. people who don't know how I ride. But I wasn't a high-risk pregnancy (in fact both of my kids were VERY healthy.. maybe a little too much at 9lbs 4oz with the first and 8lbs 5 oz with the second ).

In Ed's case, I think the heat would have been more of a concern than the riding itself.

Would I do it again if I were pregnant? Probably. Thankfully I got my tubes tied/snipped/burned with fiiiirrreee!!!... no more kids for me. Factory is closed, bitches.
