It's hard to out run a two way radio.

So anyway, thanks for your service.

I know all about the radio being faster than any bike, but the thought was running through my head when I saw him hit his lights as I crested the hill.  I just knew that if I were caught that I could lose my security clearance and so I pulled right over to the shoulder and waited patiently with my hands visible as he caught up.

I'll bet that was the longest few minutes of your life.

It wasn't fun, but it could have been much worse.

Hey, how is the seat working for you.  Does it cramp your legs?

I can tell it is slightly lower, but it isn't to bad.  I am shopping for a used Corbin right now to find something that is better suited for long days.  I might try a sheepskin pad to see if that helps.

It works great for day to day, but on long trips I get hot spots since there isn't a lot of foam underneath my backside.  It would probably be better suited for somebody that isn't 200+.
