 Surely Moe's joking. Going from svelte 500lb bike to a 900lb. bike.  Sometime I feel my 750 lb. T-bird is a bit too much. Maybe I will downsize a little to a new Trophy. 
Paul, are you referring to my blurb about, "Some day I'll break away from the twins and Triumph in general and reach for the one delusion that borders on reality: the fabled Gold Wing. "?
Funny thing about weight: Being as how I hate slabs and roll rural roads mostly, weight is a factor! I don't want to be tossing around a Gold Wing when the America's are so lithe. Speaking of, the OEM saddle is a pain in the butt. Sits me way too high and makes Prudence seem too heavy. THAT’S RIGHT I SAID IT: Prudence. Yes Ryan, I like it! So today I slipped her panties off, err removed the oem saddle and put Vera Lynn’s saddle on her. Amazing difference. AMAZING! Like another ride altogether. Prudence has her groove now.
That got me to thinking about the t-bird and Rocket III. Perhaps those bikes would be more ahem, flickable with a corbin saddle? The feeling I had when I test rode the T-bird in NH was similar to that of riding Prudence with her oem saddle. Dammit. Does anyone want a slightly used 2007 America? I am going to get me one of them thar t-birds! (and a corbin saddle) NOT!
Where was I? Oh yeah: weight. Having a corbin saddle on Prudence was the prudent thing to do. aha ha ha ha
