Default Sooooo Not Funny!!!!

I come outside to take a little ride today (nice day sunny 70 degrees) and what do I find? These F@#$ing crows we have here decided they were hungry and used my sead as a snack bar. So now I need a new seat, anyone have any ideas on a good seat? I'm looking for a 2up with a sissy bar.

I know it is not funny, but. What did you have on that saddle that interested crows. Now may be the oppurtunity to have it covered with a thick piece of buffalo hide.

Not laughing at you, laughing with you... Crows did that? LMAO. Bastardos!

Honestly, that sux! I'd be pissed too - be reaching for that 16 gauge, gonna scatter me some crow feathers! Will insurance cover that? In the meantime there are some decent aftermarket seat covers...

Are they holes or bird "droppings"? I can't tell from the picture.

If you have comprehensive insurance, this damage would be covered by your policy. If you don't have comprehensive I would look into having it recovered. I think that would be alot cheaper than buying another seat.

put the 16 gauge back against the wall,pull out the 12 gauge double loaded with #4 buck shot, you want those crows stopped ,

I'd be so pissed about that seat,but on the up side..... the wife can't complain about replacing it now

PS...... put out some bird feeders,

Your insurance would cover it, but unless you have a low deductible I wouldn't think of turning it in. Not enough in damage to make a claim that if something else in the future happens, could make your insurance rise.

PS. That really sucks

For 2-up riding I replaced my original seat with the H-D Leather Badlander.
