Heck, my butt gets numb just sitting at this computer. Seats may help one way or the other but getting to see and meet this country on the road is worth the pain. I am by no means a globalist but from the travels I have done and the people I have met elsewhere in my travels we are all made of the same stuff. Amazes me sometimes how much discomfort I will endure to see and meet on the journey. Good luck and enjoy. As for the bike do what you gotta do to make it yours and comfortable for the way you ride.
