It might be a wee bit cold at first touch though.........

Very cool chair, do they do a female version also? ;D
Anyhow what's wrong with men in tights?

The more I look at that stool, the more I wonder, why? ???
I was feeling sorry for myself because I couldn't afford new bike boots, until I met a man with no legs.

So I said, "Hey mate, you haven't got any bike boots you don't need, do you?"

the more I see those ball pits, the more I think "How creepy would it be, working with that dude in wood shop, watching him carefully whittle out the testicular depressions, sit on the stool 'just so', wiggle around a little, then get up and start whittling again? "

I am trying to figure out how I could carve out the foam on the seat of my 750 to look like that.

maybe lay out pre-warmed tinfoil on the seat and loosely tack down, then sit on it and see where you left your mark?  The hard part would be indenting the leather or vinyl on the seat to match.

I love it when a goofy question gets a serious answer, thanks Kit. It actually drives me to see if I could make it work

I do like the "pre warmed tinfoil " idea.

You could also make a plaster cast.  Just make sure you use ALOT of vaseline.

or shave really really well and make sure you're warm enough. if you're going through all this effort to make a really, really form-fitting seat, you want it to fit when everythings hangin' low, like when you're sweating your ass off in your leathers as opposed to a cold rainy day where some shrinkage may occur.

I just assumed that the presence of vasoline would ensure that there was no shrinkage.

That's because Kiwi's are born "pre-shrunk". Well, that's what your missus told me in the shower this morning.......... ;D
