New Motorcycle Front Seat and pillion

If you have ever ridden a BMW adventure motorcycle for any length of time you are no doubt aware that the seats are as hard as rocks. After trying a few less expensive solutions for monkey butt, I finally relented and purchased a Sargent custom seat. The feedback was generally positive from other buyers but you never know right!

Well the day arrived and I have my seat on the bike. Fit and finish is excellent, and I love the black seat on the Grey Pig. Today I went for a three hour drive looking for some nice fall pictures in Nova Scotia, and can safely tell you that the seat is excellent. Riding pleasure has gone up 100% thanks to this one item. I only wish BMW could explain why they won't do anything about their present seat design. Total cost was around $860 shipping and taxes included to Canada from the USA for the Sargent Seat. So if you are planning on an Adventure purchase know that you will need a new seat sooner rather than later. 

Patrick Trahan of Montreal

The 2010 Moncton ATV and motorcycle show is over and what a show.  Some of the highlights from my point of view were meeting the Montreal rider Patrick Trahan who was just the fourth Canadian to complete the world's most difficult rally - the Dakar. Supported by Honda he held the spectators attention as he described his experiences. What a great person to meet. The link for Patrick's Facebook page is attached, just click his name on this post title. Way to go Honda for supporting this gentleman.

Best display in my mind was the Ducati section. I cannot put my finger on it but something about red Italian racing machinery may have had something to do with it. 

 Then there was the BMW S1000RR - if you don't already know about this bike, you probably are reading the wrong BLOG :)

 Enjoy the pictures. First Pics, BMW R1200 GSA, and the BMW K1300R.

Great Website for Motorcycle Adventure Riding

Here is a website link that I came across. Very professional and lots of ride reports for motorcycle fans. One video from a couple in New Zealand offers some exceptional quality while they are crusing down the interstate down under.

Check it out and let me know what you think.
