Ride out yesterday and a few pic from the start of spring time with the last of the snow in Northumberland National park.
Yesterday - ready to ride
April UK - It's so cold!
Taking a break!

P.s. notice in the top pic the "yeast infection" seat, which looked light grey when I bought the bike, has been scrubbed with petrol and a scouring pad - 17 years of ground in dirt and grime gone in 10 mins - looks new again  _________________ Currently riding, 93 BMW K1100RS, K6 GSX1300R Hayabusa, 09 Royal Enfield Classic Bullet 500, 77 Kwacky Z650 C1.

I loved the stock seat on my K11 - did 45k or so on it including a few 1000-n-1 rides and was pretty happy with it.

Was it the squarish 2x4 seat or something more curved like a comfort seat?
Actually the stocker that came on my LT wasn't THAT bad. It looked kind of like the one you've got on your K75. But the one on my RS was /insert expletive here./ _________________ 93 LT (x2)

I find the stock seat fine, comfy and not over worn. Never had an issue. _________________ Currently riding, 93 BMW K1100RS, K6 GSX1300R Hayabusa, 09 Royal Enfield Classic Bullet 500, 77 Kwacky Z650 C1. Motorbikes for everybody!  |
