After a 3627 mile in under 72 hours (second highest mileage in that time frame ever ridden) Iron Butt Run on a Valkyrie CT seat, I started collecting them to replace the hard-ass aftermarket seats on some of the 18 Valkyries I have bought and sold, restored to stock. Personally I found It is the best long-haul saddle I've sat in 56 of riding. I don't need them any more. This seat has no mars or marks, and is clean and supple, and very nearly new.
