Wade,

That is a used Corbin I picked of this winter to try. Got a really good price so wanted to see if the heated seat was worth it before I spent a lot to see.

I think I have the same feedback CycleDude gave me. I probably isn't needed and doesn't keep you warm like the heated coat and gloves do, but it sure feels nice...:)

Scott....
My bike has the comfort package with heated grips and seat. I don't have any heated clothing and I really appreciate the heated grips. Debbie and I never use the heated seats as the heat isn't needed there. Just the extremities get cold in weather like we are having now. I do have to say that I am a solo rider below forty degrees as Debbie doesn't enjoy riding that much in the cold.

Wheres the pic taken, of your avatar?

That is at Spider Lake Café on Hwy 77 north of the Chippewa Flowage and east of Hayward. Just a little mom & pop but decent food and off the beaten path. It is a pretty ride from home up through the Chippewa Flowage. The ride continuing north to Hwy 63 from there is also really nice but one section is dirt.

Don't you darksiders run year round with snow tires in the winter?
I do :thumbup: ran Dunlop winter sport for a couple of years . Now I am running a Sunny snow master . But really a all season tire works well also .
