Not sure why you whoosies need them fancy seats, us hard cores run what we brung, hell..I've made it 25 or 30 miles to a far distant Starbucks on some of my longer runs.

Mornin' all

Tried the Mustang with the backrest and it seemed nice if a bit hard, while a nice seat I could see buying a cushion for it on them longer than 25 mile trips.

Wife has decided today is now fireworks day, so possibly a Kubbing to Wisc is in the works, always a nice ride.

Going with the bigger is better, theme this year.
Neighbor down the block has bested us three years running, it has to end.

Getting old Al.


40 years ago I rode all over the southeast on a KZ650 Kawasaki and had a ball

Mornin' all

Tried the Mustang with the backrest and it seemed nice if a bit hard, while a nice seat I could see buying a cushion for it on them longer than 25 mile trips.


It did take a while to get broken in that's for sure. But now I'm pretty good for a few hundred before I start getting ***-itis. A cushion just helps put it off a few hundred more miles.

I like the way you guys think


Al


I should also mention that seat I got moved me back almost 2".

I remember the days of wading pools for the kids. Then came the larger ones about 3ft tall where you actually have to have a decent sized and level spot for them.


I remain convinced that if there truly is a place called Hell, and I make it there after I have assumed room temperature, they will have me trying to level out a spot and set those damn things up for eternity.

Good morning Woods!! Hope you are all well. Checking in from Toad River. Watching moose play in the lake while waiting on batts to charge. Forgot to plug em up last night. Somehow have managed to get back on schedule. Running to Whitehorse today. Should make Tok tomorrow, depending on construction delays. Tim has been a big help. Nice having contact with a Wood!! And Tim, there still is no "they" in Beerwood. I couldn't find anyone crazy enough to make this ride with me!! Still planning on the gathering in Avon. Have a good one all!!!!
