Very Good, Zoltan   :--)

Yes, that is where I got the saying, translated it into Spanish.  The term 
is actually "Riders ON the Storm", but it seems ON and IN are the same word 
in Spanish.  Go figure  :-)

Corbin vs. Sargent, the age old question.  I have not had a Corbin on a 
Sprint, but did have one on my Trophy1200.  Liked it just fine, hard as a 
rock but somehow that was OK, even on long rides.  The Sargent I have now is 
really more suited to day rides and agressive riding.  I bought it from 
another lister and it is really dished out more than I would like.  That's 
the good thing with Sargent, if you send them your seat pan, they will make 
the seat to whatever specs you provide.  You just have to know what you 
want.  Corbin is one size fits all.

I actually use my stock seat, with an AirHawk for really long days in the 
saddle.  The dish on the Corbin makes using the AirHawk problematic.  The 
flat stock seat works just fine.  But like I said, if you go for a Sargent 
rebuild you can have it a flat as you want, or not.  I really like their 
material choices, and the superdense form is very good.
