I used an airhawk seat pad this summer when I did 4 days of 700 miles/day on a quick scoot down to the four corners area in S. CO. I also have a Sergent seat. The sergent seat was perhaps 20% better than stock and extended my non-painful riding time by about an hour. The airhawk was a huge improvement and infinately better for crazy long days, especially if they are back to back days. You have to experiment with the amount of air in the pad. Too much air and they really roll around and raise you up. When inflated properly, your sit bone just touch the seat, and the increase in height and rolling around is pretty minimal. They are not for "spirited riding", but for iron butt rides where you simply want the comfort. From a comfort standpoint, it is the best $1xx I have spent.

I spend way too many miles riding in the cold.......... Hot Grips Widder heated gloves AeroStitch Darrian with the Kanetsu electric jacket (no longer working, wire broken somewhere). AeroStitch Airvantage heated vest (this is the best piece of heating clothing I have ever had) http://www.aerostich.com/catalog/US/Kanets...-p-1-c-284.html Neck tube or very light silk bellaclava Etc The feet are the only body parts left to freeze. So far I have just been wearing heavy socks with my Alpenstars, but really colds days (-12C) makes me long for my R Series BMW where I would tuck my feet forward under the cylinders. I may try out some heated socks....but at some point the suiting up time with all this gear really doesn't make much sense unless you are going to be on the bike for a few hours.
