If you would have said "manties"....probably not so much.

The Classic Seat is NOT going to make you happy! I've spent several dollars to make it more comfy with n0 improvement (gel pad, ceramic beaded pad, more fat in the ass) all to no advantage. I'm seriously considering a Russel Day-long for not twice the price of a new OEM Classic seat. If you need a classic seat to try out, I'll let you have my extra for no more or less than I got it for. 1/2 Dealer price...PM me is desired. I was going to have a business in S. Florida put some custom gel into the extra Classic seat I'd gotten. But I recall the effects of a gel layer (1/2" gel with psuedo sheep skin covered pad), under my arse.; it was a magnet for engine heat Several of us were heading from Birmingham to Nashville for RAAII. We weren't 100 miles down the road on 07.06.07 under cloudy skies and my cods were on fire. **** gel pad either soaked up the engine heat, or I was in a very big hurry to get to Smashville. Scot and Dennis will surely recall. I was on fire when we stopped, to chuck that gel pad aside. And who was that shorty on the hardley-ableson?

I will say though, for the good side of gel pads: You put it in the freezer for 30 minutes it'll be a blessing for quite a while on a hot day. But not too cold less you relish hemi-roids. In the dead of winter I lay it on the electric oil space heater for 30 minutes and it's good for 28 F degrees ride for nearly an hour. It depends on how much fluff is overhanging the pad. 28F degrees is my personal limit...an three beers

Remember that well Rocky you were one hot guy that day.

That "shorty" guy on the Harley was pretty "hot" the next day as his helmet got stolen from Hooters and that was after he traded in his HD for a Rocket. But we did have a good run towards Memphis later on that night to a Walmart to buy himself another one....Good times. Glad the cops didn't catch him when we were riding back from Hooters to the hotel, he was in the middle without a helmet and we wuz hoping he wouldn't be noticed, great distraction, huh Dave?

You guys must have tender butts......

I have no problems with my Classic touring seat. I can doo 500 mile days with the addition of some Monkey Butt powder and my wif'e panties.

I just know I'm gonna take flak for that...again.

Thats 'cause you have no butt . . . what do you weigh . . like 120?

Smart ass. You are right, I have no butt to speak of. I wore it off years ago driving trucks and farm tractors. However, I weight a bit more than 120. About 80 pounds more.

I still think the R3Classic seat is very comfortable and I've had lots of bikes and lots of seats. Must just fit my lack-of-butt just right.

Remember, I took flak in Nashville for the panties.....

I should have bought that Duce and shipped it home. That was a good time, especially the ride to Hooters with you leading the kamakazie procession down the freeway. me in the back, one time going 60 and then going 120 to keep up.

That was quite a ride in the least.

I still miss Ray Braswell. What a character. Pianoman too.

Sucking down Bush Lite's at the Taliban 8.

Almost forgot Scott and his camera taking those ride pictures.

 

[Molinoman]

Yeah, sorry about the 120 (or whatever it was) all I did was open it up to get in an opening (and give you all room to get in that opening as well)...next thing I know I looked at the speedo....Holy Crap(!) and slowed it down some, I heard your Harley friends weren't too happy with me for awhile, imagine "Little Joe" wasn't too thrilled either, maybe that's why he traded his HD for a Rocket the next day.

Potato bikes aren't meant to do that stuff, especially older potato bikes with 65 plus year old riders. That's okay. We all made it and other than the pilfered helmet, had a great time.

Ed told me later that he had the FLH on the throttle stop and thought we were going to go outta sight.......That's what you get riding a lawnmower.

I still should have bought that Duce.

Be safe over there and get back stateside soon.

I have the Long Haul Touring seat with the backrest. I have to say, for the money, it's a bit of a disappointment. I had a seat made by Ultimate out of Canada on my last bike. I could ride for hours before needing a break. Now, I can go about 75-100 miles and I have to get off and stretch. It's the padding so much as the shape and angle of the saddle. I'm going to have to save my money up for a Russell Day Long. Comfort is too important to compromise.

 

[crazyman]

Funny thing, I just got an email from the owner of Ultimate Seat, out of Canada. I had their seats on my last bike. IMO nicer than Mustang, Corbin, etc.

They are planning a set of seat options for the Rocket III, due out sometime next year. Very cool.
