RE: Looking for some seat advice.

@DutchRutter, I recently came across a bespoke report in a m/c paper. They sad one of the most frequent mistakes riders make after some perceived discomfort on the bike ... they think softer is better and go shopping. What really happens - they claimed - is this: a softer seat is often made of material which gets even softer after some warm up. So after a longer ride, in particular in summer, the new seat basically looses much of it's shape and the rider starts sliping forward towards the tank. Precious parts see a squeeze, pants get pulled in the wrong direction, and the overall rider's position is worse. The report came to the conclusion that many of the aftermarket seats create more problems than they solve.
