Like Wheatie said, there will always be what-if's... My personal favorite would be... What if your aunt had a set of nuts, she would be your uncle.. but here's my bit to add... I would not quit just yet. I crashed in 1989 and didn't work for 15 months. That's a very long time without a pay...

I only use one finger if I see you SkooterG...and maybe Carver, and Fairlaner for sure.. 300 miles in the cold today. Got home and it was 37 deg and falling. Had a nice ride, and I think this seat will be a keeper. I LIKE IT!! Smitty

My 600 miler was free. After all the numbers on my trade and how much I was going to pay for my new 2013... When I was happy with the deal I said one more thing. I will need a gallon of oil and a filter for my first service. They said no problem, and the deal was done. I always do the work...

I put the tape measure on the Laam and a stock seat. Regardless of the position it was only 1/2" taller than stock. I think that is a lot better than the Russell for the guys with a short inseam. That's funny Carver... I am going to ride it out to see you... Smitty

The bike in the back ground is my BMW 800 GS. What a great bike it is. In the far left, showing a front wheel is a highly modified Suzuki DRZ 400 Supermoto. Smitty

After riding a bit over 200 miles today in wind just around 30mph.. This seat feels very good. It is very neutral and don't feel like like I slide forward. That a plus, I hate sitting on my boys. I think this is a great option for guys on the fence thinking Russell. I think this seat has...

Get well soon... I am sure you will **** your pants as soon as your Insurance company makes you a offer... I just had to say that.. Smitty

Hey Wheatie move over.. I am catching your post count. I have over 1500 posts! Smitty

I know Russell says give there seat 1000 miles for break in. I always give a seat 4000-5000 miles before even thinking about a adjustment. I am off Monday and Tuesday, may take a road trip and put 600 to 800 miles on the seat. Smitty

Have not had a chance to ride with the new seat yet. It just arrived this afternoon. Working this weekend... I plan to ride on Monday and will report back. It does sit very neutral, but it will take a 300-400 mile ride to really tell if I am going to like it. It sure looks nice, and priced...

Well, after riding on Russell's for years. I thought I would try a Laam seat. Turn around was lighting fast, along with Seth's communication. Plus, a great price... Did carbon fiber on the top and smooth vinyl on the sides. I had a dual build, but also had a extra stock rear seat covered to...

This sale went better than last time. . Seth just shipped my seat yesterday. I have been a long time Russell Daylong guy. Hoping his new seat works for me. Smitty

I thought I see that bike in Arkansas a few weekend's ago.. Smitty

Wonder how well Plasti-dip would work?? Plus it would be removable. Smitty

I had a 2012 with 4400 miles for $8900. with two sets of new tires and a corbin seat plus a VStream windscreen...and never got a bite. I traded it for a leftover 2013.. gave $3000 difference. They gave me $8400 trade, and I keep all the extra's. The new 2013 was $11,400 OTD. Smitty

Thanks Fred...

Thats way to much work Wheatie... I would like something the wife could lean back on. I like a Pelican case, but to ugly for my new girl. Whats nice about the Pelican, it's low profile and enough room for a Atlas and stuff. It would be nice if Givi made a plate like the bottom of a trunk. That...

I have been out of the loop for awhile. Besides the factory trunk, is Givi the only nice looking trunk for the FJR ? While I like the Givi, I hate having to remove the factory rear rack. Plus, without the trunk, the mount look like crap. I know folks worry about broken sub frames, but doesn't...

About 40 miles from Hooterville. And I wish that was my place, very fancy.. But Don, what ever do you mean??? This will be the last bike I will ever buy.. Smitty
