If you really embraced the Zen of Cats, you'd be asleep right now.

I'll have to look into that jute foam.  I've never heard of the stuff before.  My whole thinking was that bicyclists usually go for super firm saddles (like the leather brooks ones) because the way your pelvis is built, all the weight sits on your ischial tuberosities (a couple of bony parts of the pelvis, aka your "sit bones") letting everything else maintain decent blood flow.  Obviously having a solid leather seat on a motorcycle would suck because of the vibration (you'd rattle out fillings and your ass would go numb) but that firm foam looks like the ticket.  Sweet deal!

...just adding some anatomical science to your awesome decision, Bucky. :D

this foam is basically carpet padding that happens to be an inch thick. i set it onto the seat to see how it felt and the density is just right. as soon as i get the replacement belt for my sewing machine i'll get the leather cut and sewn.

OK,OK, OK,
When i posted I thought that if Buckykats test was negative he would be happy and so I made what i thought was childish humour about why I wouldnt go for a test.....IF I had read BobbyR's post FIRST then I would not have made any jokes about bums or fingerers.
I do not have any problems with gays, My son is Gay.
I have total admiration for those that go for tests.
I have total admiration for our Doctors and Nurses, my step brothers wife is a nurse and works all hours.
I have total lack of respect for a government that keeps all our hospitals in a state of dire financial crises and do  not believe that a hospital should have to spend any of it's resources or time in "achieving targets" or indeed thinking where the next money is coming from.
Furthermore,
Having spent Ten years living on the streets,  mixing daily with prostitutes, drunks, down and outs, drug addicts, lesbians and gays,and every sorry soul that society has dumped on, neglected folk, mentally disabled folk,physically disabled folk, dejected folk, world weary folk, and the generally dispossessed, I think it possible that a "bigot" is the last thing I am.
My sense of humour was honed amongst the above folk, and granted  it may not be everyones cup of tea, but please don't try and make out it was anything but an attempt at levity.

Great post.  :)

I almost weighed into this thread earlier, but held myself back as I was worried it would have come out as a bunch of incoherent mumble jumble. Thanks for clarifying, it's definitely put me at ease and I imagine others too.
