Another angle: Seats that are made of REAL leather breath, and are much less prone to "butt burn" than those made of vinyl or naugahyde.

Ok I feel stupid. Or something else. I use the Goldbond green and never had a problem.

Digger1799: Why do say that about 600 miles. We do 400-600 miles quite often just on a day trip.

This thread is entertaining, for sure. I second the Monkey Butt powder. It really works.

This comes up every time seats and comfort are discussed. I don't know about the rest of you but when it's hot, my a$$ sweats even when I'm not sitting so I don't see how a leather seat is going to keep my a$$ dry. Unless by "breathing" it's going to be blowing air on me.

Another for Monkey Butt. We just had this problem this past weekend and a friend swears by it.

1st.) 600 miles today? [:-]Thats a CONSTANT 75mph for 8 straight hours

Now I rode from Dayton Beach to NY straight through, I have also spent 33 days on the bike touring the country. Even figured out how to sleep on the bike to avoid time wasted setting up a tent. ( not while I was riding )

So what I am getting at is 600 miles; You need to be registered for the Iron Butt.

I found that as others have said, Air circulation is a must. AND check out Biker Shorts, as in Bicyclists. They are ment to reduce chaffing. Most of them use a synthetic wool blend to keep moisture away from the skin. Just about anything will be better than cotton underwear.
600 miles in a day is VERY reasonable. I did 704 miles Sunday. Hollister, CA to Sherwood, OR. Bill is right. No way you can average 75 mph for a day. I took the shortest route from Hollister to I-5 north and was between 70 and 80 all day long. Left camp at 6:50am and pulled into the house at 7:30pm. That's an average speed of 55mph. Gas stops and one long (45 minutes) stop for lunch. I was on a Corbin Classic Solo (leather) and had no problems.

Maybe motorcycling just isn't your thing.
Hey, a smart *** response. I bet you don't have many friends....do you?
Nope... none... nada! Well... maybe one- my wife and kid chipped in and got me a rent-a-friend. But that still isn't many.
