I haven't rode mine much either. I'm still setting it up for a trip. I did order a Russel Day Long Seat which should be here maybe this week. I've got new sprockets and chain coming so I'll be installing those and new tires. I finished building my new computer, it sure is pretty!, I'm getting back to the bike now.
I did go for a ride yesterday, it was beautiful out. The trouble is that I want to go much further. I've been everywhere within a hundred miles or more a number of times and it's time to take the next step. There aren't many natural wonders where I live, so it's hours and hours of corn and bean fields. BTW, I'm thinking about taking Route 20 at least to the Black Hills of South Dakota, has anyone here done that?
This weather is driving me crazy. So far I've ridden fewer miles this year than last year at the same time. And I had a three month head start this year.
Woodswoman, I'm getting my RDL seat on Monday. Admittedly, I really like the stock seat, but it's only good for about 200 miles before I start to squirm. I had a custom seat on my other bike and there was no limit to the amount of time I could spend in the saddle.
I hope (and expect) you'll love your Russell Day-Long seat as much as I love mine, brother.
It has been awful, hasn't it? And no immediate prospect of improvement, either. <Sigh!>
I did get the backrest.
