We see a lot of motorcycles riding in trailers and pick me ups. I guess the owners are afraid to break in the saddles or wear the little nibs off the tires. To each his own. ? A poser event? You mean something like those events Herring tows his portable motel room to so he can hang out with the other old white guys and listen to ersatz hillbilly music? No, I don't go to those. This was just one of a few trips I make each year to the New Haven area to hang out with old friends. Got pretty good MPGs driving up and back, too. BINGO! Hang out and pose with a bunch of 70 year old juvenile delinquents. Could you still throw your leg over that thang and ride it? Didn't think so. -- x ----Android NewsGroup Reader---- http://usenet.sinaapp.com/ |

I'm not a fan of the seat, John. the manufacturers give you their idea of what comfort is, and their idea isn't the same as mine. Mine is totally different than having a "King/queen" seat that you can't move around on and are stuck in one position. The old original GL1000 was much more comfortable. But I'll be getting a stack of gel-pacs to compensate for it's short comings. and it'll be fine. I also cant see spending a huge sum of money for a custom built saddle that I may be just as disappointed in. so... |

I had to raise my windscreen a bit to compensate for the additional height, but that wasn't a big problem. |
