Oh yeah, I agree. That definitely did her in. I've tried to make my bike into a comfy place for her. That's really the only reason I bought a tourpak. When she's happy, I'm happy. I also have a sundowner seat and one of those gel pad things to go on top in case she ever needs it (never has). She can only handle the stock seat around town. If we ride for a day or for a long trip, she won't do the stocker like I will. Causes me to have to change seats a lot, but it's the least I can do to keep her happy.

How is the riding down there in the Columbia or Simpsonville areas? I may be getting relocated down there in the next couple months.

The upstate has more technical roads. The Midlands and Low Country are scenic but the roads are more straight with gentle sweepers. Here in the Columbia area there is a poker run almost every weekend but they seem to have the same destinations. All the stops are at the same bars?

Get a good map like a DeLorme street atlas that shows all the back roads and you will find some good riding with very little traffic and plenty of scenic and historic destinations.
