Ah, thats good, I know he replaced the bike in Brisbane, then had all sorts of adventures through various countries, having hooked up with two people on BMWs, but I missed the next installment.

You'd have to come up with a more comfortable seat before I'd even think about going that far!

I don't know if I could swing that.  I suppose your butt gets numb at some point and you don't notice anymore?

The problem wasn't the seat today - it was the bee that I hit doing 35 mph.

Stung me in the neck below the helmet.

Didn't feel too good.
