- May 29, 2014, 23:20:00 PMI've put plenty of thousand kilometer days on my Drifter with it's stock solo seat. My legs will cramp up a bit but my bum is just fine. On the other hand: about an hour on my 31 year old 900F seat feels like I spent the night passed out in a Turkish bath.

- May 29, 2014, 23:00:38 PMOK so no more poutine......back to better seats for your seat. As I have states elsewhere I swapped out my stock two up for a springer saddle. This seat has zero padding (neither does my bony butt) the springs take all of the shock. To my surprise the seat is comfortable even on long halls. I remember reading a article about bicycle seats saying that a hard seat is actually better than a soft seat or even a gel seat. They claim the softer seat allows your back to flex from side to side creating back fatigue where as a firmer seat tended to stabilize your back causing less strain. Supposedly this is why Corbin refuses to put gel pads in their seats because it takes away from providing solid back support. Not sure if any of this is officially true but i know that what I have works for me.

Now that's funny, my old boss ate his fries that way. We used to travel a lot together, and it seemed to be the strangest thing - he would put a generous amount of ketchup on them, but them completely cover them with black pepper. I'm talking like 1/3 - 1/2 a pepper-shaker full! It disturbed him if the place had shakers that he couldn't unscrew the lid, and pour it out!! I tried it that way once, and surprisingly it's not really "hot" just has a real strong taste of black pepper.[/ot]

- May 29, 2014, 09:58:19 AMWill definitely be spending the money on something, I loved my Mustang touring seat on my Classic, thinking pretty hard about adapting a Nomad Mustang for this bike. As an added bonus the next day the speedo cable snapped, off to Belleville for a new one today, really starting to think this bike is cursed. Also in case I didn't mention it I highly recommend this course to everyone. great day and very informative no matter how long you have been riding.

- May 28, 2014, 22:21:54 PM[ot]I recall out east in Nfld, we would go to the Irving Station /Restaurant and have our fries with gravy and ketchup. As for the Corbin seat moosewing, spend the money. I've got the 2up and am seriously thinking about getting their single also.

Isn't that a normal way to eat fries? Slopping gravy on them sounds disgusting...like sausage gravy and biscuits with a half inch of grease floating on top....[/ot]

- May 28, 2014, 18:30:09 PM[ot]I eat my fries with ketchup and a ton of freshly grounded black pepper! So can easily understand the tabasco thing. The poutine is an experience in itself, it's almost the national food here. The basic recipe is fries with gravy and cheese kurds, but some place serves over 20 different kind, chicken, smoked meat, name it..... the strangiest i've eaten is fries, gravy and cheese plus green peas, chunk of chicken, chunk of sausage and all cover with a creamy cole slaw! Altough I was born in Montreal I'm not a big fan of poutine, but I can't go a month without eating a montrel style smoked meat from Schwatz or a fresh out of the wood oven montreal style bagel from Fairmount. There is a big battle between Montreal and New York for those two delicacies....but we win![/ot]

Here we are talking about fries and burgers because moosewing3 's tender buttocks can not handle a stock seat for a mere 14 hours, guess that happens when you are just not used to a stock seat, I really liked mine, and like it even more now, since the gel pad was put in.
jmbo lots of Northerner's do eat their fries with no vineger, and love to smother them in ketchup, tabasco not so much but we do have our share of spicey food here....lol....[/ot]

- May 28, 2014, 08:49:42 AM[ot]1) "Chips" with malt vinegar!!! My favorite... its really a Brit thing, but it carried over to the "colonies". I ALWAYS use malt vinegar on my fries ... never ketchup/catsup. [/ot]
2) I just rode 450 miles on the Drifter and had absolutely NO problems in the seating area. What I paid for the Corbin has been well worth it over the past 12 years!!! I have a corbin on my Goldwing as well. It is worth the cost. BUT, some people don't like the fact the seats are firm.Posted by jmbo

I had my fair share of poutine while I worked in Montreal. I have to admit that it is an acquired taste that I did not totally acquire. (Much like riding on the Drifter OE seat. It didn't stay the distance.) But then I also saw others around the table shutter when I dipped my fries in ketchup with a dash of Tabasco. ..and then there is that "burger sauce". But when in Rome.....[/ot]
