During a lunchtime conversation a coworker mentioned that they were out with a new rider on a Gold Wing last weekend. After about 45 min he was suffereing from Monkey Butt. The gist of the conversation was that you have to ride for a while to toughen up yer buns. I find a lot of riders here complaining about stock seats. I wonder how many ride every day. My wife and I both have stock seats (1600 & 900) and have had stock seats on all of our other bikes and we do not feel much discomfort. After putting in 430 miles this weekend, I asked her about the 900 seat... no problem. I put in 804 miles on the 900 last Wed with no problem. We ride every day and about 2000 miles/month so our buns are well conditioned to being on a bike. I imagine many of the lower time riders have a difficult time with more than an hour in the saddle since it does take a while to condition your body. So, the question is: Is the numb butt you feel from a bad seat or lack of seat time?
