Wrongway Posted September 1, 2010 Share #1 Posted September 1, 2010 Enroute to PIP and ...DOH! I forgot that I don't have my drivers seat tightened. Well, you can guess what happened. It's somewhere along hy 37 in Iowa! Looked, but no luck. At a rest stop now with free WiFi! Woo hoo! Any chance there is a spare 2nd gen seat on it's way to PIP? I have a couple seat pads that I can use, Dee says Thank God it was my seat and not hers LOL. See you all there Thursday or Friday! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Owl Posted September 1, 2010 Share #2 Posted September 1, 2010 Allan, Tried to call you after getting your Text... Don't really do the texting thing and most definately not while I am driving. But you wasn't answering your phone. Anyway... You looking to buy a replacement or just borrow?? There is a MC Salvager in Jordan, MN. I can check with them and see if they have a seat for your scoot if you would like.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wizard Posted September 1, 2010 Share #3 Posted September 1, 2010 How could it just fall off if your sitting on it, or are your legs long enough to ride on the p-pad? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mini-muffin Posted September 1, 2010 Share #4 Posted September 1, 2010 Well if he were sitting on the passenger seat he'd be sitting on Dee's lap. But good question on how he lost the seat. Good luck Allan we may need to change your name again or add to it. Margaret Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flyinfool Posted September 1, 2010 Share #6 Posted September 1, 2010 Well it seem obvious to me that he was traveling the "WrongWay" You are supposed to have your but on the seat which does a decent job of holding it down. That is what happens when you:mytruck1: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Freebird Posted September 1, 2010 Share #8 Posted September 1, 2010 I don't have an extra but if you are in the market for a good used Corbin with drivers and passenger backrest, I have one in my garage that another member left here during maintenance day and wants to sell. I think he wants $400.00 for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Owl Posted September 1, 2010 Share #9 Posted September 1, 2010 Just a thought here.. Owen is coming up to the PIP out of Texas. Don't know if it would be out of his way, but maybe he could stop by and pick up the seat from BuddyRich and bring it up with him....' Then all you would need to do is get it back to him...

YamaDuck Posted September 1, 2010 Share #13 Posted September 1, 2010 Probably trailering it. Now that is something I have never seen. A Venture being trailered. Plenty of Harleys but no Ventures. Hey the seats don't fall off the Harleys when they are trailered or there would be seats all over the highway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sarges46 Posted September 2, 2010 Share #18 Posted September 2, 2010 OK....we can bring one! Gordo is borrowing my pillowtop seat and his stock midnight seat will be at home. We can bring that down if he agrees and he can use mine until a replacement is found for Wrongway. We will be there Friday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Godlover Posted September 2, 2010 Share #19 Posted September 2, 2010 Maybe someone else is riding up Hiway 37 in Iowa and can keep their eye out for it. I know the chances are slim - but you never know! It is probably scuffed up a bit or worse if a semi plowed over it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wrongway Posted September 2, 2010 Author Share #20 Posted September 2, 2010 Guys, I am sorry to admit it, but yes I was trailering a Venture. We have three weeks off and going all over creation and back so decided to take the Cousin Eddie special RV and tow the bike. Sacrilege I know, but you do what you gotta do. No pics though! I just pm'd Rick so hope to hear back, Eagleeye will be next if I don't hear from Rick. Just need the seat short term cause I have a spare at home. Just looks funny riding on dish towels and duct tape! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BradT Posted September 2, 2010 Share #21 Posted September 2, 2010 Allen I am sure it would be easy to forget, but dam that gotta get you worked up a bit. But at least it didn't fall over like some others recently Have a good time, gonna miss PIP again. Brad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sarges46 Posted September 2, 2010 Share #22 Posted September 2, 2010 I just PM'd Allan. The seat lending is a go. We will bring Gords down for him to use. Gord is using mine. They are taking off for the west coast after PIP. I am sure we can work out a longer lend for you Allan. Heck if Gord really likes my pillow top he can use it until next summer. They are planning to attend the Cody meet. We do a return swap at that time. Ya never know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Condor Posted September 2, 2010 Share #23 Posted September 2, 2010 I don't have an extra but if you are in the market for a good used Corbin with drivers and passenger backrest, I have one in my garage that another member left here during maintenance day and wants to sell. I think he wants $400.00 for it. So that's what he wanted for it... I tried to get a response out of him and never did. Finally forgot about it.....

Freebird Posted September 2, 2010 Share #24 Posted September 2, 2010 Well that surprises me...I even sent him the link to the discussion in case he missed it and talked to him a day or two later. He is a great guy, don't know what happened. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Condor Posted September 2, 2010 Share #25 Posted September 2, 2010 Well that surprises me...I even sent him the link to the discussion in case he missed it and talked to him a day or two later. He is a great guy, don't know what happened. That's OK, $400 is about what everybody trys to get out of them, and I'm looking for something less than that. Maybe that's why he ignored me?? I actually may have talked to him in the past?? I did make someone an offer... If it was him the offer might not have been interesting enough. Another reason for not contacting me....
