|  More on the seat debate
After hearing all the tales of woe, it was with some fear and trepidation that I attacked 200km of twistie today on the new bike. After an hour - (whoops - forgot about the speed limits), I was having a coffee and reflecting on whether the seat was good or bad. I am 5'11", and 120 kg, (about 265 lb). A common thread is that heavier dudes suffer the most. Mine is definitely NOT all muscle! So did I feel like I had been on a date with bubba in prison? Or was I relaxed and refreshed? Nix the last one. I would have to say nix the first one too. My experience is somwhere in the middle. I think more than 2 hrs would test me in one go. But an hour each way - and I feel quite ok, and ready for more. I was wearing full armour (dririder) and I reckon this has a lot to do with it. The temp is a lovely 20 C (70 F) here today, with scattered clouds I also reckon the seat has to be worn in as well - buy a new lounge chair and see how that changes with time! So, whilst I haven't bought Suzuki flowers, I haven't sent them hate mail either on the seat. |
