I finally got to test ride my Corbin yesterday[3/21/05]. It was worth the money. At first I thought it would beat the crap out me because of how firm it is...butt { pun intended} I was pleasantly suprised at how well it absorbed the bumps. My wife loves it too especially the back rest. I haven't taken a long ride with it however, though I figure I won't be dissapointed with that either. Thanks for the earleir input on another thread helped make the decision easier for me. Glad I got one now.
