    so, ducati 1098 series owners..

    the seat slants forward & the tank rises up vertically in front of you. Where does the meat & potatoes go?

    you answered it in your description, if the seat was flat and the tank rose vertically then there would be nowhere but because it slopes forward and the tank rises vertically it slides your ass towards the back of the seat.
    Do you remember the good old days before the internet?

    when arguments were only entered into by the physically or intellectually able.

    contrary to what people think the 1098 isn't that bad for comfort, done a few 1000k+ days on mine

    The Sargent Seat is a good upgrade, or the DP Race seat, either one helps

    There's an obvious answer here about ducati owners not having any balls, but it's poor form to go there.

    Can't be as bad as the Benelli. If you go over the bars, you're leaving your balls behind.

    In life you only get one lap, might as well make it a good one.

    the benelli tank is designed to make the bike go faster, each time you touch the brakes your bladder is crushed which works in one of two ways, either you brake less and retain corner speed or you ride faster to get where you're going because you need to pee some blood.

    Having only ridden one (Falcores) I can say that was the last thing on my mind ... they are a menacing machine and my balls were in my throat so didn't need to worry about where they sat on the tank.

    Just gotta pin those knees in hard under brakes, pretty hard to do in draggins but leathers grip pretty well. Maybe get some tank grips if you're worried about the kids getting bruised.
    Giggity.
