Well it's comforting to know it's not just me  I can ride a motorcycle for an hour or two with little problem, BUT, if I take that some route in the Morgan and I'm looking for a pee stop after 45 minutes? Also 1 cup of Tea turns into a 2 cup discharge? What is this all about

Boffer - does this mean I will have change to de-caff coffee? It might help since caffeine is a diuretic. I roast decaf beans that you cannot tell by taste that it is not high test or regular coffee. So all is not lost. God help you with bladder cancer if that is the problem. Three friends of mine have had that... If caught early, bladder cancer is very successfully treatable by Chemo & radio therapies. If not then surgery may be needed - but better the bag than the box! Swmbo had bladder cancer - quite late stage but treated successfully - has now had the all clear for the past seven years.

My Dad (now 90) has been successfully treated for bladder cancer.
Prostrate Cancer did for father-in-law though.
I had a check a few years ago after urgency and frequency issues. Need to go back for another check when I can.
Our 4/4 is definitely worse than our other cars to the extent that we just refer to “Morgan Bladder”.

All of the advice re PSA tests and having prostrate checked is sound. I have about a 3 hour range but the Kitfox has over 5 hours so when I began undertaking longer cross country flights I consulted the local glider pilots who pointed me towards the right equipment. It's easily ordered online. https://bgashop.co.uk/cart/index.php?route=product/category&path=6Of course in the Mog one can just pull over and pester a tree but you might want to enter for Le Mans 24 hour or just keep on

Five hours or so in a drysuit tends to become five hours in a wetsuit otherwise! I'm sure a line could be rigged through the underside of the car if anyone was keen enough. Might get some strange looks when hooking up the plumbing before driving off and also at the look of relief on your face at the traffic lights.  The side benefit of being able to warm your fingers during long decompression stops is probably inappropriate in a three wheeler.

As an intensive care nursing friend said to me when I made the same complaint - be grateful - the regular stops and exercise help prevent the deep vein thrombosis!

Sadly, studies show that screening for prostrate cancer does not change mortality, however it does increase morbidity. However, the good news is that drinking coffee seems to decrease the risk of prostrate cancer. You guys think having to pee is an issue.... I have had part of my colon and small intestine removed.... I look for the toilet for other reasons

Well compared to you Rodger we have minor irritations with the need to pee, well done you are a trooper  . I have never owned any other vehicle that has this effect, all 3 Morgan's have been the same it must be the excitement.

It is amazing you can empty, empty and empty some more but drive a few miles in a Morgan and there is a need to empty more. Similar to being adrift at sea with nothing to eat for weeks and still bring back carrots

Screamingly funny, in a-sad sort of way. As a 2 time cancer survivor, the last one being prostate cancer, i would say get your PSA LEVELS checked. Enlarged prostate has the side effect of frequent peeing... no waiting around to go...i had to give up kayaking because of it; a “drysuit” was suddenly no so dry and damned hard to get out of quickly😱. And then to add insult to injury the cancer treatment severely degraded bowel control too!!
Oh the joys of your Golden Years.
A tip for you coffee drinkers, chew chocolate covered or plain coffee beans and you don’t pee as often and are still awake.
I hear you...... 🤣 BR Colin (Metastatic Prostate Cancer, Stage 4 in bones and lymph nodes, 18 months beyond initial ‘best’ prognosis. My PSA was 65 at diagnosis! Get it checked chaps!)
