most of the group...

we broke in the new seat... 490 miles day 1 and 390 miles day 2...

i sit higher and im over the pegs now so i have precision motocontrol... no rider or passenger helmet buffeting at all up to 100mph... the blast is hitting me at nipple height... absolutely no hot spots or pain of any kind... m o has the proper leg geometry now and lotts o cush so no more tailbone pain and she experienced no slide forward on downgrade braking...

so... the seat is good and does not need any followup sculpting... its perfect for us at this point...

the ride report is here...

Johnny - good to hear you got the saddle situation squared away. Nice to know someone has a seat story with satisfactory ending...

Great photos JO. Looks like the gang had fun.

That red asphalt, is there some recycled product mixed with it and does it feel any different?
