Woah lots of replies!! Thank you for the helpful suggestions and kind words
on my phone so can't find the quote key so apologies!! Great shout on the sticky grip mat stuff. I'll whack a bit on and take her up the road, if it's ok I'll fit some properly. I'm a big Unit though (15st) so might end up ripping it.....? Er....I may have cleaned the seat with that pink instant shine spray stuff.... I'll go and get some JIF! Well, you live and you learn! At the button of my road there is a gentle long decent with an ra at the end. First ride yesterday, wet seat too came to a gentle stop at the ra and slid w inches forward, balls right into the tank Ha ha!!
Maybe gripper rods are the answer...?
