OK.... I just spit up my coffee.

 

 

Yeah... well... we'll see how you're doing after the first 1000 miles.

I'm guessing you're going to be feeling like somebody's bunk muffin.

1,000 miles?

So far, I've done 100 miles on that 250, out to Blanco and back.  After the first joyful 20 miles, the remaining 80 miles were brutal, absolutely brutal.  Throttle pinned almost the whole way.

Oh yes, they'll be a separation of the men from the boys.  And my boys went numb.

I borrowed one from JC and subsequently purchased one.  I highly recommend it.  The key is to only inflate it to the bare minimum or it feels kinda squirrely.  I only use it on long trips. After just a few hundred miles, Sophie's seat is horrible beyond my vocabulary to explain.  The Airhawk did the trick for me.

Laissez le bon temps rouler, yall.

I haven't used this product (Freedom Air) but a rider on another forum has spoken highly of it.  Sounds like a good option for guys.  Same idea as the Airhawk with a V cut in the front for comfort.

"you think we're making a bad call" 

 

No way, T.

This trip is going to generate a series of memories that are going to help to sustain us when we're laying in the bed in the nursing home.

Like the time when I was 19 and I did a swan dive from the high Interstate bridge over the Cheat River and crushed a disk in my spine when I hit the water.  That was a 90 foot swan dive.  Had no idea how deep the water was under the bridge.  I've suffered 31 years of pain between my shoulder blades with each and every breath because of that dive.

Mastering the Fear and leaping from that bridge into an arching swan dive was one of the finest, clearest moments of my life.

Great moments are only bought with great risk and great sacrifice, and sometimes great pain.

I just made that up.

Terry, check your back issues of Motorcycle Consumer News.
The did a comparo between the AirHawk and one of its competitors.
I can't remember the name of the other product, but MCN prefered it to the AirHawk.

Unfortunately I already threw away my copy of MCN.
Come to think of it, the winner in the comparo might have been the product that Mike (Tobes1) linked.
Oh well, if you have recent copies of MCN, you should be able to find the article.

I have used the Airhawk for about 2 years. It is great for long rides. It completely eliminates pressure points. It also aids in ventilation in the high tempartures. It does block some of the seat heat in the winter however. As said before, the secret is to adjust the air level (easily done by mouth) to the most comfortable level. Highly recommended and much cheaper than a fancy new seat.

 

What nursing home? 

I'm thinking a Ducati of some sort... a great ride... a whole bunch of right grip

and a bridge abutment. Say in my 97th year.

and butt naked.... just like we came into the world.... that'd give'm something to remember!
