comfy

Well, the jacket I was thinking about bidding on finally went for nearly a hundred and seventy pounds. That was far more than I had planned on spending, especially on a second hand jacket. More than I can afford at this time too. So, I let it go and will look at another jacket soon.
I did buy the waterproofs and the roll bag.
I also went out for a run of about twenty miles this afternoon. It was mainly to try out the gel cushion. It works a treat and should make riding distance somewhat more comfortable.

I'm toying with the idea of getting the seat reworked and fitting the gel under the cover. I could narrow the front of the seat. Then, if I get a stretched tank in the future, it will fit better. I am considering doing the work myself. It will entail removing the leather cover and fitting the pad under it. I'm sure I could do it as putting it back together will involve rivets and not stitching. Though, on the other hand, maybe I should get it done properly!
I could take it to House of Custom as leather-work seems to be their one remaining speciality and then I could get a tooled insert put in at the same time. I would have the comfort of knowing that it would be done right. But then again doing things yourself can be fulfilling.
