Greetings David,

Good choice on keeping the Tiger - they will make a great pair. As a matter
of fact, I am keeping my eye out for a "can't pass up" deal on the Tiger .....

I got caught on Sunday with Turbo engaged at around 150 mph and it was a
might scarry. I had come out of a tree lined road to a open area with water
on both sides and got hit by a 40-45mph crosswind. After I regained my
composure and the blood started flowing again, it really did not seem that
bad. It was far less squirrelly than the old Sprint which didn't like
crosswinds at all (CG too high)

A couple of people on the list have contacted Gen-Mar about risers - none
yet, but will probably be available in the near future.

I have always run with corbins up to this point, but I really feel that
this seat is superior in comfort to anything I could get from them. I may
send it to Sargent though and get a new cover - something a little sportier

Someone on the list got the can, so they are out there - just luck of the
draw it seems as to where the accessories are going.
