Devine cafe seat I have no trouble taking stuff on mine.

Cafe seats are cliché IMO. OEM for the win.

Because I enjoy some padding under my butt

That's what donuts are for, MoMo!

You mean like this

I don't own one because I personally think they look dumb.

No one ever said I wasn't opinionated.

MoMo, that picture gave me a flashback to the early '70s when I was working as a Bio. lab assistant and tutor while finishing my proprofessionals. Member of the Sci. faculty was about that size and so lazy that he got one of those trail bikes to ride the 1/2 block from home to the college. Rest of the Sci. staff used to joke that it took him 5 min. to get to the college and 20 mins. to pry the bike out of his butt!!

That's a gorgeous seat. Custom made?

could be him, as I pirated the photo off Al Gore's internet.

Lost - is that your purse tied under the towel, or a backpack? Put the towel in the pack, and then put the pack on. Makes carrying stuff a lot easier.

The best reason to not have a solo seat is so you can take a rider along. Cargo is easy to manage with or without a solo seat.

Yes, thats a Coach Camo man-bag. I'm a type 1 diabetic so besides all my rigs, I have some other travel stuff in there.

Thanks. It is bone stock foam recovered by a local guy. He charged me way more than I expected and it was originally supposed to be brown and black two tone leather (vinyl). When I showed up to pick it up, there it was. I almost vomited. My friends and wife love it, so it stayed and has since grown on me. Its like embracing a horrid birth mark. (lol not really)

No problem with packing a lot of camping gear to my cafe seat. Maybe because it's not a cafe racer, but a true race bike?! :-)

I fitted a light weight back-pack to my Seeley, way back when. I could remove it in a couple of minutes, rotate the mounting bars, and carry a passenger.
