Thanks PC but forecast for the evening is rain followed by freezing rain and then snow, followed by -23*C temps........
OK how did I get mixed up in this one 
.... I'm still not riding yet either there my friend . In fact my seat isn't even installed back on the bike , yet so thanks for the offer , but haven't you caused enough trauma to my eye sight already 
Troll I'm guessing the new pillion sits like a Nomad , correct 
?? Being you don't sit on it just maybe you can give GB a ride at drift-in this year . Now that would be a picture ratman

I can't say I even notice the rear portion, at all. The dual seat I had was ok at first, but the foam gave out, and I found that on long rides, the cushion was too short for real comfort. Gel added helped a lot, but it wasn't as good as the solo, and the 2500 miles to Drift-In made that pretty obvious....
I meant how does the passenger pillion sit? Just wondering...

- March 18, 2014, 20:59:00 PMHey, BTW, I studied your pics again and wanted to point out - that seat turned out really NICE. I do like that....
One question, though - I don't remember you saying - how does it sit?? Does your wife ride with you??

cool good for you and I have 58" of snow in the front lawn yet, and 48" of ice on the lake as of last night at 1600 when the guys drilled a new hole to fish from on the last day of the season......so ride on and be safe.

- March 18, 2014, 13:38:04 PMDo you find your helmet fits loose now? I noticed a bit of change in helmet fitment after losing all that weight.

- March 18, 2014, 13:16:58 PM22.5 miles. Not a big ride, by any means, but then, the temps are a little low, there is no sun, and they are predicting rain turning to snow over night....The ice has finally melted all the way through the alley, so there are 2 12" wide pathways to the road. Gotta go ...saw 2 bikes out besides mine...a Honda and a Suzuki...Yeah, that me...55 lbs lighter and still working on it...The river is still frozen...the ice is 14" thick in spots. There were ice fishermen out there. If I want ice, I just go to the freezer and get out a tray!
