Default Sundowner Rx

A couple years ago I was showing off for the Grandkids on a Waverunner. It was one of those "Watch this" moments in life. The mishap must have been fairly spectacular, because it was followed by choruses of, "do it again Grandpa!", from their parents, who are now out of the will, BTW! Anyway I whacked my tailbone to the extent that more than an hour and a half on the bike had me reaching for a bottle of Dr. Dewars feelgood ointment. This with a stock '07 Ultra seat. The local HD shop had a new Sundowner seat for my year bike that they let me tryout. Man, what a difference! No more aching tailbone. Now I gotta talk the local sawbones into writing a prescription for a "therapeutic seat" and I can write it off! Wish I'd done it sooner.

I have done 560 miles in a day on my Sundowner without any butt pain.
