Rick Butler Posted April 5, 2009 Share #1 Posted April 5, 2009 Hey Guys, Don has been trying to get me up to Oberlin for his Work Day for several years now and it seems like I always have a conflict. However this year I've decided that I'm coming, come hell or high water. But after watching Kent's thread on getting this event more organized, my question to all of you is: would you like me to bring the "Butt Butler" with me, since he won't be doing anything during this time. Now he wouldn't be able to work for free because this wouldn't be fair to all the other guys whose seat (s) he has worked on in the past. But if you thought you would like him to rework your seat this weekend, it would save you around $50 or so in shipping. But on the other hand, I would not want to be guilty of turning this social gathering of friends into a commercial affair. I have already talked this over with Don and he said it would be ok with him if you all would be alright with it. And "No" is certainly a valid answer because if you feel I should leave him at home, I'll just bring the "Bike Butler" and help turn wrenches. But if I did bring him, he would only be able to get enough foam up there for maybe 10 seats, which would also be about the right number of seats to rework in 2-3 days. And it would probably work best to have everyone that was interested, to go ahead and get a schedule with him started? So whatchathink?

Riderduke Posted April 5, 2009 Share #2 Posted April 5, 2009 If that is the way you want to spend your trip I say go ahead. I couldn't imagine that anyone would have an Issue with you doing this. Heck, with having a "Vendor" at MD that would make it into the "BIG TIME":rotf: Can you make the rear passenger seat of a corbin "softer" for my Wife and Daughter? If so then Put me on the list.

Gary N. Posted April 5, 2009 Share #3 Posted April 5, 2009 Sure sounds good to me Rick. If you decide to do it I'd like to get on the list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cougar Posted April 5, 2009 Share #4 Posted April 5, 2009 I just sent an email to Butt Butler telling him how much We love him and what a great job he did! It is like heaven now! Tell him we said Hi! Thanks Rick! My butt and back bow down to him! Jeff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OutlawRider Posted April 5, 2009 Share #5 Posted April 5, 2009 We wish we had the time to come and put some faces on all of you. I would diffently would want to be on the work list on our seat. We just have to much going on right now. Guess we will have to pay the shipping as I want Butt Butler to work over my seat to his mods and norrow and lower it just a little. Being I am leg challenged. I'll have to get a hold of him and hopefully have some bad weather so we do not miss some good rides. Have a great time at the meet. I am always willing to learn something new and learning from the best, well that is the only way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

frogmaster Posted April 5, 2009 Share #12 Posted April 5, 2009 I was looking forward to sitting on some Butler Modified Seats then deciding if I want mine fixed. If Rick Butler is there with his grinding tool, foam and staple gun Ect.... That would be Sweeeeet. Potential Customer coming from Northern Michigan... Count me In too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cougar Posted April 5, 2009 Share #13 Posted April 5, 2009 You can not really tell until you ride for with the modified seat for a while.. Maybe someone can switch seats with you and you go ride for a while with it. Just a thought. It has something to do with being on your tail bone with the original seat for a some miles. then you will know when you get off the bike. kinda how it works! dunno how but it sure works~! Magic?

Midrsv Posted April 6, 2009 Share #16 Posted April 6, 2009 Rick, I'm interested in the modification. I'm riding up from KY on Saturday morning so it will probably be noon before I get there. Dennis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rick I was actually just thinking about sending my seat to you Rick. This is another option I have to seriously consider. Certainly would be quicker and the added benefits of the rest of the MD happenings. If I come, I would want to be one of the 10. I have to take a hard look at my schedule. Thanks for offering!

wkboard Posted April 6, 2009 Share #18 Posted April 6, 2009 Rick, I have no problem with you doing it, but you might want to line up some helpers so you can socialize too. My seats, that you modified, are great, so I don't need it done. If anyone wants to try mine out at MD, just ask me, always happy to promote a GOOD mod. You should also bring along a bunch of those seat thumb screws. They are Fantastic. I look forward to meeting you!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T.J. Posted April 6, 2009 Share #19 Posted April 6, 2009 I would like to get both seats done. I will be coming in Early Saturday Morning and leaving to come back the same day. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magnum Posted April 6, 2009 Share #20 Posted April 6, 2009 If there is still room I would like to be added to the list. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cougar Posted April 6, 2009 Share #21 Posted April 6, 2009 Ditto On those Thumb Screws. A Brilliant Idea! I have 2 sets , in case I lose one two of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davecb Posted April 7, 2009 Share #22 Posted April 7, 2009 I have plans to come, but not totally sure if I can make it now. But, put me down to do both seats on Saturday. I will let you know if I can't make it. DaveCB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VTirelli Posted April 7, 2009 Share #23 Posted April 7, 2009 I'm definitely interested, but I'd like to sit on one thats already been done first if possible.

big mike Posted April 7, 2009 Share #24 Posted April 7, 2009 Rick, I would be in for the seat mod on my 99 if you still have an open slot and enough material. Please count me in for Don's M.D. if you can. Just the front for now. Big Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Butler Posted April 23, 2009 Author Share #25 Posted April 23, 2009 Ok Guys, I've heard from 12 of you so far, where a couple may be tenetive. I've slotted those who have said which day they would be there. So, if each of you could take a look at the attachment and drop me an e-mail to Rick_Butler@verizon.net (there is an underscore between Rick and Butler) to 1. Let me know for sure which day you want me to rework your seat (s) 2. Which RSV seat you have, a pillow top or standard 3. Any other information you would like to provide This will allow me to do some better planning before I get there. Thanks, Rick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
