This may come under technical...but seeing as the gaffer is away in Spain I thought I might risk it. After 20 yrs of not ridinga bikeI bought a mates 1987 1200 Aspencade...done 1000 miles in the last 3 weeks and to be honest...IVe got a right George Bush (numb bum). Now I figure it could be one of two things,
1. My mate has had the bike for 14 yrs...and he and Pies have been very good mates over the years. ( sorry Roy but salad aint yer favourite food is it?) and he's flattened the seat.
2. Ive gone soft over the years and I'm just not used to three inch of leather and foam between me and a motorcycle frame.
Does anyone know of anywhere that sells a seat (in the UK) that will fit the bike...and is extremely comfortable. To be honest...after three hours of riding yesterday I felt like I had had an epidural in me butt cheeks.
If its just me being a whimp then fair enough...I'll get used to it.... but if its because of my salad dodging mate...I want a new seat.
All advice gratefully received.........and sorry to all our American friends about the George Bush remark..........yeah right.
