with this picture...Clyde (or Big Red, as he is making himself known) is missing his seat. And the forecast high for the next two days is low to mid 60s. Sigh.
However, the reason for the sitzplatz being empty is due to a swaperoo of sorts I'm doing with a guy named Brian on BBO. My bike came with a Sargent seat. My backside misses my old Spencerized seat. Spencer only modifies stock seats. Brian wants a Sargent seat to replace his stock seat on his '98 VFR.
Minor math skills are involved, but the upshot is, I shipped him the Sargent, and he sent the stocker to Spencer, who will fix (with funding from Brian) and send it to me. Win-win (except for the grand theft The UPS Store charged Brian for packing and shipping the seat).
Soon. Soon, the seat will be here, and I'll get to learn to ride again. In the meantime, S
pring is starting to wake up, tentatively stretching her arms. Hopefully it's only a short nap before she gets up for good.
I have the same problem, 67 here yesterday and my bike has no seat. It's also missing forks and a front wheel...
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to the Sargent saddle, even though I won't be able to try it out properly for a few weeks more.
