[QUOTE="Hammer Down Brown, post: 1319176, member: 86689"] I had a nice couple of days on my new 2016A. Left from the Charlotte, NC area, (Harrisburg) and rode to Pittston PA, about 625 miles including about 50 miles in pretty steady rain on I-81. The bike handled great on the wet roads and the zoom zoom factor on dry roads is a bunch of fun. Saturday I rode about an hour and a half to Fotksville PA for a Philly Cheese at The Forksville General Store and then another hour and a half to Knobles Amusement Resort in Elysville PA for ice cream and then a quick and spirited 535 mile ride home. All in all, a great get to know the bike trip. One of the things I wanted to know about was how well the stock seat and I would get along. The conclusion is that the stock seat hates me and want to punish me any way possible and it's very good at dishing out punishment. Yamaha builds a fantastic motorcycle in the FJR but they should be ashamed of the seats they put on them. It appears that most in the FJR community prefer the Russell Day Long seat to others. What advice do I need to decide? [/QUOTE]
