Trip to Corbin, Hollister, CA

[KJWEB]

A friend and I left last Wednesday for Hollister, CA to have my new Corbin seat and other pieces installed. First, whoever said "sunny California", that's a myth. It rained everyday of the trip down and back. We still had a great time. Besides, California needs the rain.

I love the seat! Taking some back roads back to Washington, (1,100 miles) the seat has broke in. I ordered the Lamonster Cut that moves you back 1 1/2" from the stock BRP seat. The seat consist of black baby alligator with black grabber sides, yellow welt and yellow stitching. The back rest, trunk rest and passenger arm rest match the seat. I really like having the fuel door now as well.

Overall mileage was 1,935 miles for the trip. I did have a mishap at the end of the first day in Redding, CA. I was putting the bike cover on and side step over the tongue of the trailer. Oops! I didn't pick my feet up high enough and tripped. I ended up bouncing my head off of the asphalt parking lot twice. On the second hit, it knocked me out for about 15 - 20 seconds. I'm ok, just the rest of the trip I had a dull headache to remind me.........I'm old! :banghead:

With the El Nino current off the coast this year we are getting a bit different weather conditions. But as you said we do need it even more so down here cause SF and LA hog it all....But AZ is kind enough to sell us some....:roflblack: That is a great looking seat and well worth the trip...congrats..:2thumbs: Here's a tip for the old age thing....stop taking shortcuts....:yikes: we are not as spry as we used to be...go the long way and look cool...:roflblack: glad your alright....

Instead of trying to change the weather patterns, Corbin needs to open shop in the Dallas Area. They have the east and west coasts covered. It would have been so much easier if they would have done my install but im not riding that far.
That is a really nice seat set up you got there though. Congratulations:firstplace:
