Me and my TBA get along pretty good on long distant hauls and I'm talking stock saddle combined with my stock a$$. I could ride from coast to coast and back again then wake up the next morning and want to ride some more. But... the Beemer R1200CL I sampled a few months back was a DREAM on the ol' body, especially the butt. So what I'm saying is to ride my Trumpet does end up hurting but not enough to stay at home. And I'm saying the Beemer was much more comfortable but not enough to switch bikes. Ahhhh, just fire up the America or Speedy and don't look back.
