Kevin, all I can say is that there was something wrong with the bike you rode if the mirrors shook at highway speed. Categorically, something is wrong. I have ridden five Harleys, and none did that. Nor did things "fall off." There's a lot of BS about Harleys. With the True-Track stabilizers I installed this year my bike hardly vibrates at all. Not much more than my R90 didl Still it's not smooth. I hate "smooth," it's dull, lifeless, boring. And I don't like the looks of Victory at all. So I've got the right bike for me. Peter, I think it's likely that the seat will fit. I'll get a photo soon.

People totally exaggerate the vibration of the Harleys, the Sportsters don't vibrate that badly. They have rubbermounted engines, with three braces to the frame. Awesome bikes, very exciting. I like bikes to be exciting, not smooth and unengaging. I've ridden a Ural around the block and sat on many models in a bike show. Very very much like BMWs, which are wonderful bikes.

Influenced? Schooled, in a real sense. I like some of his music. . . but I'm not LOVIN' it. And it isn't because of the "Miles" thing really I don't think. I just don't get bowled over.

Peter, the Corbin looks sort of like this one: Soon I'll clean the seat off and take a photo.

Some pictures (and yes, I mowed the lawn immediately afterwards!) http://forums.allaboutjazz.com/picture.php...p;pictureid=164 http://forums.allaboutjazz.com/picture.php...p;pictureid=165 http://forums.allaboutjazz.com/picture.php...p;pictureid=163 http://forums.allaboutjazz.com/picture.php...p;pictureid=162 http://forums.allaboutjazz.com/picture.php...p;pictureid=161 http://forums.allaboutjazz.com/picture.php...p;pictureid=160

Damnit. I didn't know about that Chillin' cd. I ordered it from Tower. Andy Bey is the very best.

Wow. I agree.

Well, instead of taking six to eight weeks, my Corbin seat came today, just two weeks after ordering. It's a beautiful seat! And just how i like it comfort wise. And my riding companion is going to be very comfortable, this is a real touring seat for a passenger, safe and comfortable. Glad I got this! It also positions me perfectly, moves me back about an inch and up about an inch. Peter, the Corbin seat for the BMW is in pretty good shape. However, it's not really a solo seat, it's sort of one, it has a deep bucket rider seat and a tapered passenger seat behind it. . . . sort of a sport tourer seat maybe. You may want to ascertain that it will fit your bike. . . it came off a 1985 R65. It will be a bear to pack and ship so no sense doing it without certainty.

PS: Nothing new on the Blu-Ray, it has all the same material as the two disc DVD set. Just doesn't have the comic book.

Good news.

Vol. 2 is coming out as an RVG June 2.

Next three Concord RVGs that I can see are: Miles Davis: Miles John Coltrane: Coltrane Eric Dolphy: Live at the Five Spot Vol. 2

Samba Azul from Aystelum

That's a trio date for Time Records. From January 1959 with George Duvivier and Max Roach. Pretty damned good. Has been out domestically in several versions, and from Japan in several versions throiughout the years. If you can do SACD, look for the US SACD Hybrid version.

Just watched it yesterday. (The box office version). Incredible picture and sound.

Mark, you can still buy bikes like that. I think some of the Sportsters qualify (a friend has an '09 Nighster, fantastic bike) and have you seen the Urals? Personally I consider my bike neither a cruiser nor a sport bike.

Possibly. I haven't looked at it in a long time. I'll check out the conditioin and it it warrants it send you an email. It's been in a garage with cats and a possum or two for twelve years. . . .

Thanks for your advice Kevin but quite honestly I've sat on Mustangs and not liked them much, and I sat on a different model Corbin touring seat and it was stiff but less so than their non-touring seats, and I liked it, so I ordered the model for my bike, which looks pretty nice on the bike and appears to be one of the best made seats I've seen. Out in the garage I have a Corbin solo seat for my old BMW R65. I no longer have the bike, and the guy I sold it to, like me, did not want a solo seat on that bike and just let me have it. I like hard seats, its the nicest made seat I've ever seen, I just always want a bench for a passenger and/or (in the case of the BMW, I have saddlebags that I love on the Fat Bob) strapping stuff onto. I have taken a lot of what I read on the web with grains of salt. . . . About Mustangs, about Corbins, about Victorys. . . I'm glad you're happy with your Mustang. I may well be happy with my Corbin. I have no intention of canceling the order. That's a fine looking Indian. I drove an old Harley with the foot clutch, tank shift, etc. once in Ohio. It was a harrowing ten miles. One could get used to it, but the modern set up is more pleasurable!

I agree that was a great episode. Best thing I saw last night.

It's probably a BMW R50 as RC says. Beautiful! Peter. . . The Corbins have a reputation for being "hard" in comparison to the puffy pillowy type of touring seat. Which is one reason I went for it. I sat on one of the seats I'm getting on aonther bike and I really liked it better than the stock Harley seat on my ride, it has the potential to be a great seat for all day, day after day riding, which is what I really like the most (going from Texas to Ohio and back or Texas to California and back, etc.) The stock seat on my R90 was sufficient for that, I put thousands and thousands of miles on that seat and even re-upholstered it. The Fat Bob seat is not quite that comfortable. And the real reason I'm changing it is that it's not very good for anything but short two-up riding.

Glad you're on the road Kevin. Did you get a solo Mustang seat? They've been recommended to me, but my gal has been doing riding with me and so I went with a two-up Corbin, should have that in a spell.
