I see this thread is getting pretty long in tooth but I'll toss this in anyway. I've got two AirHawks, the first one I bought from the manufacturer in 2006 and now has around 40k miles on it. It's been to AK twice and Nova Scotia once, always comfortable and pretty reliable too given the mileage on it. I think it was on the way back from Nova Scotia that it developed a flat, same as a flat tire. Since I didn't have the factory repair kit along (duh..) I stopped in a hardware store and bought one of those old fashioned tire repair kits. It was an easy fix and one I would eventually repeat two more times.
Later on one of the members of the scooter forum offered a brand new unit for a give away price, he'd tried it out and didn't like the way it felt so I snapped it up. When I picked up my NT in New York this fall I took it along with me, all deflated and rolled up small. That turned out to be a really good thing to do, it transformed the stock saddle into one I was able to ride all day without any discomfort.
As an added bit of information when I was having my scooter's saddle redone at Rich's Custom Saddles in WA one of the first things Rich showed me was a letter from the owner of Roho, the outfit that makes the Air Hawk. In it he thanked Rich for making him such a comfortable saddle claiming it to be the best one he'd ever sat on. Can't say as I blame Rich for keeping the letter handy in case anyone happens to mention how much they like the Air Hawk. It doesn't matter to me though, I love the darn things and will never be without one. They're perfect for rides on new bikes like the one I just mentioned, just roll it up and take it along in your tank bag.
And don't forget to take your Anti-Monkey Butt powder. Eh? Don't tell me you're not familiar with that product, it's an invention right up there with the wheel and microwave!
