Whilst the BMW R1150GS may seem to be tall machine to the average Joe or Johanna, in practice for the long legged of us the footpeg to seat distance is quite modest and this causes cramps on long rides. I have now had the standard seat modified twice by leading industry experts who have failed to provide a good seat that allows me fore and aft movement whilst maintaining a good height. This could be due to the limitations of the two piece saddle design. As a final act before ditching the GS in favour of a V-Strom, I have raided the piggy bank and purchased an XXXhigh Touratech sports seat.

Dear Mr Nikos,
We all like to see pictures of each other's pussies - I should like some of Mrs Nikos's too, and would be happy to send you pictures of mine - but that does look like a pair of your underpants on the washing line, and I am sure the world isn't interested in them.
Dear Nikos:
Did you make it back in one piece? Ot at least two, as you were traveling with Electra?
I was delighted to have had the pleasure of your company during that scalding afternoon at the BMW Rally, in Bloomsburg, Pa., and for dinner that evening.
My riding companions at the Mac-Pac are astounded that I know such genteel company, and think I hired actors for the occasion. I finally got around to writing up the event, which took more than a week of recovery from tha ghastly heat.
I did not get a picture of you, nor Electra, when you were here, and that has me nuts. The cough drops you brought me will be worth their weight in gold, and I expect to scalp them for outrageous prices when the cold and flu season starts again.
I was slow in answering your e-mail as I did not know the status of your high-jacked account, and wanted to be sure I was dealing with the real article. I can't thank you enough for joining me at dinner last Saturday night, and hope our next one is in a gin mill by Stoke-On-Trent.
By the way, you can get a seat made taller and broader, as it tapers away from the tank, by the folks at Russell Day-Long. The cost will be about 1/2 the US trade deficit with China.
Fondest regards,

Very nice pussy........although we have seen him before! So how is the seat working out, or is the pussy sitting on it all the time?
Your pussy is looking at you like he thinks you are indeed crazy.
Hope the seat works out for you.
With that Sherbert helmet, your pussy is looking at you like he thinks you are a goldfish............
This seat means serious (travel) business, looks very comfy.
But wait a minute, after all the farkelization ditching the GS for a Wee? You can't be serious.
Dear Jack
What blast the whole trip was! The rally and the acquaintances made were truly memorable and Mrs N is still talking about problems with her lower digestive system.
The hotmail spamming is very curious - only the day before it happened I received a pleading email from fellow motorcyclist claiming he had been mugged in Spain and I was requested to send him €1,600. Strangely he referred to "cell" phone, a term not used in UK much.
A report will follow shortly on this blog once I have attended to the storage issue for images.
Best wishes from somewhere north of Stoke on Trent, N

No harm in showing my pussy again!
The seat elevates me to the height of an SUV - all I need now is a blue flashing light on my helmet!

I am indeed crazy

The pussy is very perceptive - but stupid
Dear Sonja
Well spotted!
Unfortunately I have no money now.
Dear Nikos:
Please read "Twisted Roads." I just happen to have a helmet with a flashing light on it.

Nikos:
I am indeed jealous of your recent encounter with "THE BIG GUY" in PA and that you managed to endure the scorching heat.
can't wait to welcome you to the ranks of WEE owners

Lovely pussy, Niko. I'd like to see it riding pillion at about 150km/hr, its ears pinned back it in the slipstream and its fur ruffling up coquetishly.
I hope you won't be offended Nikos, bu that picture of you with your cat made me start singing that old song "I'm an urban spaceman". Was it the Doodah Band?
Dear Bob
Jealousy will get you nowhere!
Dear Gadjo
Does an ex-male pussy display coquettishness?
I suppose he might with a following wind...
Dear Alice
So nice to have comments from an obvious non-harridan (unlike certain others who hang around here) - bless you!
Bonzo Dog and I've got everything you need.
Wait until you see the google hits you get now! I must say it needs trimmed a bit.
Dear IronDad:
A trimmed pussy blog from Nikos? LOLOLOL!
Fondest regards,

Niko, I suspect that coquettishness is pretty much all an ex-male pussy has left in life.
I'm not even touching the pussy comments. ;)
That seat though. The height is astounding. Looks like a steel beam from the tank to the rear deck, with a little padding and cover.
I'm no giant, but at 6' plus boots, my Kawasaki feels cramped. I don't know whether to get a taller seat and help my knees or get a shorter seat which will put me, finally, entirely behind the windshield. If the damned contraption had a place to mount highway bars, I wouldn't be in this situation. I hope your new seat is everything you dream of.

Kia Ora Nikos!
So what are your seat impressions so far?
Tompkins looks JUST like the adult version of the stray kitten who has just adopted us. We will be delighted if she turns out like yours (carefully avoiding the Pussy word)
Such a handsome bike and the seat looks good too!
