get a sheep skin fleece or bead seat. both relatively inexpensive and will add hours to you butt endurance.
I have a customer in Owensboro Kentucky. From my house to his shop is 475 miles. It is no problem to make it to his place spend a couple of hours eat and return before midnight. Add a few more and I'd have the basic 1000 mile Butt ride. Some day I'll document the trip and go the little extra and complete the dang thing so I can pin the patch to my jacket. --- On Fri, 2/20/09, crosscountryhawker <[email protected]> wrote: > From: crosscountryhawker <[email protected]> > Subject: [Nighthawk Lovers] Re: displaced Southerner > To: "Nighthawk Motorcycle Lovers!" <[email protected]> > Date: Friday, February 20, 2009, 10:21 PM > : > > Jay, > > Sounds like your ready for an "Iron > Butt"ride.
