The shorts are great for mountain biking and I don't have any problems there. Usually I alternate days of MTB and moto, which provides a butt break.

Four days straight of moto in rocks was not good. Maybe its just a physics and physiology thing, but I am wondering if there is some technology that would help... besides A&D diaper ointment. Which is full of lanolin (wool grease) and very good stuff.

This review liked the Seat Concepts for highway, but not trail:

Another interesting review:

I think 70mph offroad means *off-highway*? Experiences with hard bouncing trail riding appreciated. (Of course I stand up, but not for 6-8 hrs.) I ride as little on smooth surfaces as possible, and the stock seat feels fine there.

Sounds like the SC just takes some contact cement, or is it worth paying them $20 to install?

Thanks
I stand pretty much constantly when I'm offroad. I have a Seat Concepts on my '06, and love it. However, due to its width it does get in my way when I'm standing. It's something to keep in mind and does take some getting used to.
