Default My legs are always soar.

Could it be the way I drive? My left leg still has a bend to it when it's on the foot rest but my right leg is bent quite a big when I'm driving and that's the leg that's soar. I never felt comfortable sitting father away, but I'm wondering if it will help. I even have a hard time sleeping because my leg is so, I guess, numb. I drive quite a lot, I've done almost 30,000kms in 7 months of driving.

At any rate, try moving your seat back a notch to straighten your leg. Also, how fat is your wallet? Keep it in your back pocket? Most guys have too much crap in their wallets and keep them in the rear right pocket, causing pain when they sit.

Hahaha, thanks, that caused a coffee mishap on this end!

FWIW, I switched to carrying my wallet in my front pocket years ago and it's +much+ better (I use a smaller one design for the front).

I assume it's not a joke. Yeah, taking the wallet out will damn sure help. You might want to see a chiropractor.

I had an issue with the backside of my left leg one time and it was during a business trip where I had to drive ~500mi each way. Damn that hurt. I tried putting a pillow under my leg but it didn't offer much relief. Turns out I had a pinched nerve. I bet a visit to a chiropractor would help.

Another thing, Honda sells a lumbar insert for the S2000, in Japan only. Something like that might help...

I have a very small wallet that is only big enough to hold some credit cards and DL. It's more of a leather credit card condom than a wallet. :-)

I keep it in the front and I can't fathom how people carry around these huge George Castanza wallets in their back pockets.
