I showed up bright & early Thursday morning at Rick Mayers place. Rick came out, gave me a cooks tour of his place, and his staff started right in on my seat. Two more BMW riders came in a bit later, and we had a great time chatting & watching the seats being made. Great people to work with, and the seat was a real work of art. The ride home wasn't going to be pleasant, as it was raining off & on all day & the next, but the 200 plus miles back was very comfortable. I'd had trouble going 50-75 miles at a stretch without a rest, but this seat let me go the whole 200 without any discomfort. Money well spent, IMHO
