I have, this morning, discovered a syndrome, to which I have put my name:
The Zeus Expanding Urine Syndrome. (Z.E.U.S).
The theory behind this syndrome is that during the cold winter months, urine expands to fill all available bladder space within half the time of any proposed motorcycle journey irrespective of the quantity of liquids that have been consumed or length of journey.
If a full bladder is b and variable journey time is j then I think this can be expressed as:
j/0.5 = b.
My first thought was that the bladder must contract with the cold (like other parts of the anatomy) but, after a single cup of tea and an hours ride this morning (half of it in extreme bladder discomfort) I arrived at my destination. I ran from the bike, ice cold hands fumbled with textile trousers and jeans whilst I “please don’t let me pee myself” danced in front of the toilet and eventually evacuated my bladder. A medium-sized cart horse would have been proud of the quantity.
Can anyone help prove my research? :unsure:
