Comfort seat and heated clothing

This week we spotted a Corbin seat for our Transalps on Marktplaats. Sander has had a Corbin seat on his Yamaha XVS1100, so he knows they are pretty good seats. Besides
on the picture it looked like the seat is a little lower as the original one. Because for Marianne's bike, we would like to get as much lowering from the seat, we decided to give it a try.

So today we went to Rotterdam, which is a more than one hour drive from Almere, to try the seat. As we weren't sure the seat would fit, we took the original seat with us. Both original seats matched perfectly so it was time for Marianne to give the Corbin a try. Unfortunately it didn't seem to improve the way she could reach the ground. So we swapped the Corbin seat with an original one, just to make sure there wasn't much of a difference. Turns out the Corbin is a little wider, and therefore not showing any improvement. Sander also tried the seat, but decided not to buy it.

On our way back home we decided to pay Motoport Almere a visit. They called us to let us know the Gerbing heated clothing had arrived. In the Achievable Dream DVD series, heated clothing is highly recommended and as Marianne is always cold we decided we might need it. However we were not sure if the smallest possible size (XS) would fit her. Turns out the jacket actually fits pretty well. Much better than the XL jacket and XXL vest would fit Sander. If the weather allows it, next week we will be making a short test run with the Gerbing heated clothing.
