What have you done on your bike today?

[WAYNE]

Today i rode the Enfield down to Sammy Millers for Harley day, i bigger turn out then last Sunday's BSA day, i put it down to better weather. It was a nice ride down there, the roads where light traffic but going home there was a tailback of at least a mile and a half of cars going into Lyndhurst but light traffic on my side.There was some bloke in a lamborghini on the back end of the tailback, i bet he could just watch his fuel gauge going down rather quickly!!

I bought a comfort saddle for my Multi a while ago. Generally a huge improvement on the standard with much firmer filling making it comfortable for longer. It was though pretty garish to look at with a horrible shiny covering & red piping so I took it to a local upholstery bloke and have had it re-covered and a little filling removed at the same time . Before and after pics below. They weren`t the quickest but possibly my fault for telling them not rush as I would be away but they seem to have done a cracking job . They are called Car Seat Repairs but have no website and hard to find online. They were recommended to me so maybe it`s mainly word of mouth . Before and after pics below :-

Good work, Duke.

For some reason your post reminded me of this. I`m sure many of us on here have read it.

Absolutely brilliant book, a favourite of mine.

£200 which I though was ok bearing in mind it`s a 2 part saddle so extra stitching and material, they removed some of the filing and the "Village People " piping don`t come cheap !
They are not VAT registered so HMRC miss out on £40 . In future I`ll do my best to only use companies below the VAT threshold to minimise how much our glorious leaders squeeze out of me.

Sounds a bit dear when you can buy a used pair for less...but I guess it's bespoke, and had extra work done

Everything is more expensive in the UK the further south you go.

Same job up North is 50p. Things are cheap up next to the Arctic Circle.

Life is cheap there, too.

The standard saddle is pretty crappy so as I knew the alternative one was comfortable it made more sense to me to have the work done as opposed to buy another Ducati one. It pisses me off that Ducati sell a bike and offer a comfort seat as an extra. It`s like admitting the standard is not comfortable in the same way that Tesco Best Of range implies anything not in that range is just a little bit shit by comparison.

When I got my Supersport (950), I noticed straight away that the seat wasn't as user friendly (couldn't move around on it as easily) as my previous 939 one. It had a different profile, and the material seems very slightly different. Fortunately the fitments are identicle and I got a 939 one for it.

So much for progress eh!

Please tell me you haven't bought another Bimota

I nearly typed that for you

 

[Exige]

Please tell me you haven't bought another beautiful and exotic Bimota

Please tell me you have bought a bike (and not another Fuglystrada 1000) is it a GS?

I can see why you weren't invited to the Scotchland trip. Take the bimota north of the border and they would have thought it was a new bridge
