My 15 minutes of fame...
I finally made it - my name in print!
June 2009 issue of All Metric Roadbike Magazine, page 6, in the Mustang seat ad: "After 50 miles of riding on my stock seat, I couldn't take it anymore. Today, on a 200 miles test ride, my new Mustang seat was instantly more comfortable. It is a magnificent addition to my Suzuki." Scott H., Chandler, AZ I emailed that to Mustang after I replaced the stock seat on my '05 C50T, nearly 2 years ago.

Ha! That's a good story. Don't know why they waited so long -- given who the endorsement was from and all.

Real men don't say "magnificent" you wimp!!!
I think in Custer we all should start saying "magnificent" instead of "good" or "great" in Scott's honor!! "Hey Jeff, what do you think of Todds huge head?" you guessed it "magnificent!"

Speaking of Roadbike Magazine...in "my issue" which came today, it says the next issue will feature a road test of the 2009 Kawasaki Voyager! watch for it if that interests you, I'm sure it will be magnificent.

We take the stock seats and put them in plastic bags, put them in the aftermarket seat box and throw them up in the shelf in the garage. When we trade bikes the stock seat goes back on the bike. Then we either put the custom seat on the new bike or sell it on ebay. I do the same thing with exhaust pipes, risers, etc. The dealer isn't giving you anything for the accessories so why not make a little money off of them.
