Went to Americade and it was terrific! The bike handled great. It was about 350 miles roundtrip and then we did a tour of White Face Mountainand Lake Placid. Couldn't ask for nicer people and weather.
I waited a while for this seat, but am very happy with it. It seats me about an inch or two lower and a few inches back. It was a nice firm back support, but little padding. This is okay with me because I have plenty of my own padding! I travel 140 miles on it in one day and I didn't have to do the hiney dance...that's always a good thing.
