PROS
Dramatically increases comfort on a stock seat
Easy installation and removal
Packs tight and light
Improved quality and functionality over previous generation
CONS
A universal/adjustable version would be great
After a few days on the Trans-America Trail, the limiting factor for how long I could ride each day wasn’t the range of my gas tank, or how much daylight remained, but how much my butt hurt. My Yamaha WR250R was equipped with an aftermarket seat, which was worlds better than the rock-hard stocker, but the slim profile of a dual-sport really isn’t designed for long distances. I knew I wasn’t the only one who wanted an alternative, and fortunately one now exists!
When ADVMoto glimpsed the original MOESOF Endurance Seat, we couldn’t help but think it looked a bit kooky, but we brought it to rallies to ask attendees for feedback. Based on community input, MOESOF then burned the midnight oil to produce the GEN 2.

CHASING PEAKS IN THE HIMALAYAS
It was 2:00 a.m. on my fourth day in India. My eyes blinked open in the dark of a hotel room in Drass, a town in the Himalayas on the Indian side of the border. Yesterday was our first day riding on a six-day trip through the Himalayas, and my brain could not process everything I'd seen and experienced.

MAKING MEMORIES
Kevin and I initially met in the Marines. We have been riding together for a few years, and riding BDRs the entire time. Our first attempt at a BDR was in Utah, where we were completely unprepared and significantly ignorant of our capabilities. It led to some interesting moments conquering Lockhart Basin where we developed our backcountry motto: “Less Gear and More Water.” We document our rides on our YouTube channel, “Be Gone for Good.”
