Great scenery, you are going to have to get a comfort seat 😂👍🍻
@thelikeablerider8800 Жыл бұрын
Gonna have to do something with it. Because if it's sculptured shape, which is comfortable at first, it promotes a very neutral seating position, so you're literally sat in one position all day🤦♂️ The scenery did help though🤣
@Fatcatztravel1250 Жыл бұрын
Change the bike, pay top money for a shocking seat from BMW sadly. Need to spend more for a slightly improved custom seat. I was wanting a Gen2, seat convinced me its not for me. My Gen1 seat i could ride all day zero issues.
@thelikeablerider8800 Жыл бұрын
And from what I remember the Gen 1 and 2 seats aren't much different.

Great Video, brought back a load of memories of when I did this in the K1300S a few years back. We had walls of snow in July going up the way you came down. Arent hairpins great. We had loads of fun block passing each other on the 47 or so on the way down.

I still cannot understand how BMW made such a terrible seat on the Gen2 XR, which they promote as a touring bike! Boggles the mind. I was trading my Gen1, not happening after i tried Gen 2. They lost a BMW customer. Great vid. Looking forward to the next one.

Nice to see what it looks like on the way up in the sunshine!… We were there about 6 weeks before you (even stayed in the same town! 👍) We had 30+ degrees much of the day on the way there but it started raining just as we started the climb and it was 2c and snowing by the time we got to the top! 🤣🙄

@thelikeablerider8800 Жыл бұрын
The seat is a bit deceiving because its sculptured, at first its comfortable but promotes a very neutral seating position, without being able to move about on it, thus the broken arse on longer days.

I don't want to hurt you, but you take those right hairpins like a bus. What if someone comes from the other direction? I saw that situation a few times. Then comes the panic, front brake and one or two bikes on their side. If I can, I start the turn wide and finish it tight on the right side of the road, leaving enough space for others.
