It was warmer than I prefer as we had some temps in the 90's but really with no humidity was very nice when moving. We stayed at higher altitudes the majority of the time riding many roads Ron had been on and ones I'd not rode in the last 3 - 4 years.
I was concerned about leaving with the sport seat on this 25 day trip when I'd only rode it locally for a couple of hundred miles. Ray and Bruce both have the sport seats and were very happy with the seat. It sits me higher so less angle at the knees plus easier to move around on if I want due to the profile not locking me in. The additional padding is appreciated as well. I need to find a time to meet Lee and Debbie so they can take the seat on a longer ride to see if they might like the higher sitting position as both of them have longer inseams then I do. I'd think anyone with a 30" or longer inseam should consider ordering/buying their bikes with the sport seat. Also others could watch for trade-ins with sport seats and try to make a deal at their dealers trading theirs and some cash for the used sport seat.
