Did you take Fee Fee (sheepskin) off due to the rain? Will be in that area next week. Was thinking about getting a cover for mine. Have the sheepskin/Airhawk combo.
Great pics! looks like a nice trip.

LOL Great question. I was wondering if anyone would notice. No because the weather was looking very iffy and the mileage per day was low I decided to leave it at home. Actually the truth is I packed way too much stuff also. Crazy all I took with me knowing better. I am a true believer in that product for sure. Fee Fee, you are too funny!

I sure hope that back gets better quickly and get to enjoying two wheels again. I look forward to meeting up with you some day. We will not be able to get up to Crossroads this weekend. I sure hope they have a great turnout for the Dave Gower ride. Take care

Well, I know what a wet dog smells like... I'm hoping to keep "Ginger" dry if it rains during the night!

No need to fear. If you totally abused it and left it wet a long time it may be an issue. We have got caught in the rain a couple of times. The worst was on our Christmas ride last December. All day in heavy rain. We put Fee Fee on a chair at the hotel balcony and two days later it was totally dry and zero smell.

If you are just checking in go back to page 25, post #249 for the 2020 Wild Hogs ride report and several pages of photos.

If y'all haven't tried a beaded seat cover, give it a shot.......

You can see mine in my sig pic......I took a wally world beaded car seat cover and cut it to fit and tied the ends off......

Works great.....you/it dry quick after the rain and get a little massage as you ride.....lol.....keeps your butt cooler in the heat as well.....
