Wow, my ass feels fantastic. I just got a new seat for the v-star and it is great. I sit up a lot higher (2-3"), but its much more comfortable. The passenger seat is a lot higher as well and forms a sort of backrest for me. After a pretty crap ride in, lots of traffic and rain, my ass didn't feel bad at all. Usually I'm a little stiff or something, but I didn't feel it at all today. This should work great for the 70+ mile commute to orange county next week, plus the super comfy passenger seat should get my wife on it more :)

I got to brag about my new job to all the folks that have been out of the country. I started talking to Gabe about it and he said "I haven't seen you smile like that in a while", which is probably a good reason for me to be quiting.
