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!
Spot the K
first prize if you can spot me
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

No wonder people stole loaves of bread to get the hell out of there! Isn't it supposed to be summer over there???
Middle of winter here and it was 24C yesterday
Come to think of it it's been 18 - 25 everyday in July so far hahahaha....

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.
Go figure

 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./

I find the stock seat fine, comfy and not over worn. Never had an issue.
