Spurred on by this mornings experience riding in to work during a torrential downpour got me thinking. My MTB and road bikes have, to paraphrase Paul Young's "Love of the common people" (did you know that was a remake of a '67 hit? - gotta love that interweb thingy), "..a hole in the seat where my b**ls hang through.." so why can't the same thing be done with the seat on the Honda to stop the water pooling "down there" and just draining away. Maybe a porous pad that the water drains into then gets fed down a tube and off the side. Could put a tube to let air in for cooling purposes.
And how would you market it? I'd need a catchy name first like "Comfy crotch" or "Wet away". Any suggestions?
P.S. This IS a joke...

Are you sure you don't need a colostamy bag? (PT).
Good idea though.

When I wear my waterproof parka over my jacket, nothing gets wet. When I don't, my crotch gets wet, but only because the rain blows under my jacket and dribbles down inside my trousers.
Your VTR must have very unusual ergonomics if there is water pooling under you on the seat.
What were you wearing?

it can be used for two things, draining water away and being able to pee while riding. lol
On my GZ my nuts take a beating when it rains heavily, even though I am wearing wets and a big jacket, but that is also cause of the riding style.

how bout some drainage that
1) wicked away the water you mention and
2) enables riders to pee without stopping..
For the boys it could be called "Free Willy" and leverage the fame of the movie, and for women.. well not too sure on that one...
suggestions?

Dude, Warner Brothers sued a child for having an MP3 of a WB theme tune on her computer - you know how much you're going to get screwed for just mentioning "Free Willy", let alone using it.?
The secret to dealing with water pooling in the crotch is to wear black trousers - you'll still have a cold, wet crotch but at least nobody else will notice and jump to conclusions...
