Thats fvcked up that a guy has to acclimate his *** to handle a hard seat....

No...Its more fvcked up that I'm that guy too!!

I cant go back to cushy and soft. I actually feel I have more of a connection to the bike and I can slide my **** to the inside of the seat in fast corners and hammer it home better than with cushy seating.

My badlander is covered in dust and looking dejected and sad on the wall.....

The Le Pera is that cool. The initiation pain is worth it....Plus it only hurts for lil' while!

When I reach the 100 mile butt burn, I pull over, do a little walk around, a little stretching and I'm good for another 50 or so. I love the look.... F the pain...

Bare bones rock,just got mine a couple of days ago and have only 11 miles on it since it's raining here, but damn that seat is good! it felt a bit awkward at first becaus it has a more straightangle cut for the butt, but it eventually "hugs" ur butt to glory,with just 11miles on it Ialready love it! besides...no other seat can top the looks of it solo or withthe pillion! (I bought the pillion also)

It was like being initiated into a top secret club with a painful *** at the end of each ride....

I figured if these little fruitwads could take the pain so could I?

I have the bare bones with gel. If I had to do it over I would probably skip the gel. The ones without just look better to me. Since I used to ride & race bicycles & would always put 2-3 hundred miles a week on one, I know that my butt can get used to pretty much anything. There ain't nothing more bare bones than a seat on an expensive racing bike.
