Good Afternoon,
I have to confess… I’m an avid motorbike rider. I love my bike –
short rides, long rides, any excuse – even around the block to check
that imaginary “strange noise” I’d heard in the wheel…
But, when I stop and get off my motorbike…
Yes, you know it. I’m sure you’ve experienced it at some stage too:
The Numb Bum...
For a while I just accepted it. It was unfair, but you had to take
the good with the bad. The pleasure of riding your bike and the pain
in your nether regions or the numb bum.
Then one day I met up with some fellow riders after a long day on
the saddle, and I listened to them all groan and hobble into the café
we were lunching at.
And I got mad.
I thought, ‘there must be some way of being comfortable on the bike
and not spending half your time moving around on the seat to find a
non-sore spot’.
I’d try all of the other alternatives, from Sheepskin to some
home-made pillow like structure that a mate gave me – and I was
still Mr Numb Bum.
So I started researching… well, that’s an understatement I guess…
I hassled every motorbike rider I met about their experiences on
their bike. I visited every store I could that sold motorbike
accessories and terrorized their staff, looking for alternatives. I
turned into an Internet Junky and read about motorbike comfort…
And over and over again the name that kept coming up was AirHawk
People were raving about the AirHawk
Cushions
The AirHawk
Cushions had adjustable air inflation and multiple cells
to provide a custom fit to your personal contour for every ride.
Some genius who I will be forever thankful for, designed a system
they called DRY FLOATATION® technology that eliminates painful
pressure points and promotes consistent blood flow for a longer,
more comfortable ride. Memory foam can’t do it. Gel seats can’t do
it. Only genuine AirHawk does it.
And the cushion is portable – you can use it anywhere you sit!
The cushions are handcrafted from neoprene and
polyvinyl and feature
a non-skid urethane base to protect your bike’s seat. You don’t even
have to attach it if you don’t want to. The non-skid material keeps
your cushion secure to your seat.
AirHawk helps eliminate Back Pain
I was hearing stories of people who had even considered getting
rid of their bikes due to back pain, were now back on their
bikes using an AirHawk Cushion with little or no back pain. One
man said he'd saved thousands of dollars because he didn’t need
to trade his bike in on another model because the AirHawk
Cushion had finally made it comfortable. Even pillions who once
suffered from back pain were keen to ride again with AirHawk.
Open mesh side panels allow air to circulate through individual air
cells creating extra ventilation to reduce heat build-up. Finally a
way to eliminate Hot Seat!
The AirHawk
cushion sizes vary to suit different bike sizes, from
big cruiser bikes and sport bikes, to smaller street bikes. There
are even cushions designed for passenger seats when you ride
pillion.
But you’ll learn all of this if you ever read a brochure on
AirHawk .
Now, let me tell you the things you’ll discover when you actually
plant your rear-end on one of these gems.
If the AirHawk
Cushion ever got wet all you would need to do is dry
off the air-cell inner and just wring out the cover. Simple.
And you know all of those annoying little bumps from patched bitumen
etc that you always feel? Well with the AirHawk
cushion – they don't
exist anymore! AirHawk truly smoothes the ride.
The cushion works just as well on a bench or camping stool as it
does on your bike.
After discovering all of these things I set a speed record to get
myself one. And I was delighted to find that everything I’d heard
and read was true.
In fact, I was so rapt with the product, all of my mates received
AirHawk Cushions for birthdays and Christmas. Next their wives and
other friends wanted AirHawk Cushions too!
And that’s where it’s at today. I have been selling AirHawk
Cushions
and eliminating the Numb Bum condition for the last 7 years. I can
proudly say I’ve put more people in Australia on AirHawk
than anyone
else, and I can also say with confidence that no one else knows more
about comfort on a motorbike than I do!
I’ve been using an AirHawk
Cushion ever since… and guess what? No
more Numb Bum!
