Thanks, Ghost Rider 2

Had the pleasure of meeting Jerry, "Ghost Rider 2" and his wife yesterday. Rode two hours on the somewhat back roads, to pick up the Ultimate BigBoy seat package. Spent 3 hours enjoying their company, and a few motorcycles - she rides also, and their stable is impressive. It's nice, because we are close enough to travel for sharing wrenches, and I'm looking forward to it.

I LOVE the Ultimates, and I'm glad I listened to the folks here, that said they were worth it. I have only been riding my Valk back and forth to work since I got it, no trips longer than about 35 miles, so have never gone far enough to get numb-butt. I've been doing more work on it, making sure all the maintenance was done, adding goodies, etc. This trip was only 100 miles each way, but when I got there, my butt was already a little squirmy, with the stock seat (took the backrest off, since I had to haul everything home - stock seat lashed to the passenger seat!). I figured that it wouldn't be a fair evaluation of the Ultimate, since I already had a few "sore spots", but they went away, once on the Ultimate. That surprised me! I can imagine how nice it will be, when I get it formed to MY rearius endimus maximus. I'm thinking, heading out today, for 5 or 6 hours...

Thanks again, Jerry - enjoyed it!!
