The Sparrow is just 10 feet long and 5 feet wide. Due to its small size, three Sparrows can park in the same single parking space usually reserved for a typical sedan. What makes the company unique is its practice of designing seats engineered right on the motorcycle. The design team has specific design criteria to ensure that all bikes and seat models provide the best ergonomic support for their riders.
What this entails is considering all the factors that go into a good ride:. Once all these factors are combined, Corbin designs the ultimate seating platform with the most possible width to look good with the bike and flow with its lines. Ultimately, Corbin saddles are designed to support body weight from the sides to provide better weight distribution. The Pinnacle Quilters hand-made quilt was designed with a motorcycle in the center, surrounded by a frame of quilt blocks in reds, whites, blues, and browns.
The Pinnacle Quilters of San Benito County is a federal tax-exempt, c 3 non-profit organization dedicated to the art of quilting. The guild serves the community through charitable activities involving quilting. There is a quilt created each year and raffled to raise money for charity. The process is highly organized. It can start with making an appointment. When the owner arrives, a Corbin seat is placed on the bike for an owner test ride on a prototype model.
The owner then tells the technician what changes he or she might like to make. Multiple test rides can occur to see how to make the seat the most comfortable and to remove problem areas. Once the fitting process is complete, the seat is individualized and personalized for each customer. The materials used are hand-assembled and made to order for each rider. Riders have the option to ride it for 10 to 15 thousand miles to be certain the seat is exactly the way it should be.
Some owners have brought in up to 15 bikes to have Corbin customized seats made for them.

In other words, price points are an issue, materials are an issue, the looks are an issue, but the overall value added to your environment boils down to does it really work?
You rode it here and something happened to you. I keep that in a little vault in my head. Then I ride the bike and I make an observation. My ideas are generated by involving myself with that rider and that bike. Will you get your money back on that bike? Corbin jokes that he is no longer a rebel, but a Republican. Rebel or Republican, he proudly shows off his Hollister facility that employees and turns out hundreds of seats each day through a process that he invented and feels is what sets him apart from other motorcycle aftermarket manufacturers.
What I invented was a new way to make things with it. The first design was to put the fast fiberglass in a mold to make the base plates. That takes about 12 minutes now. Then we pour liquid foam urethane in the mold just like a milkshake. The foam rises to the shape of the seat in a couple of minutes, so you now have the base plate and the foam cushion in one piece. This process gave us a production methodology that was unlike any other way of making seats.
Each mold is for a specific motorcycle and has a part number on it. If you fill the mold right, it will fit every single time. The foam is mechanically and chemically attached to the base plate, which makes it nearly impossible to rip apart.
I can write an order, and make one for you: whereas a dealer can call and order 10 seats. This is market flexibility and quick shift advantage over any other way of making products. No seat can go from the design shop to the assembly line until he has personally sat on it and given it a test ride.
Join us July 4th-9th for Hollister ! Special thanks to www. Harold T. The State employee cut through an opening in the funeral procession as he was riding alongside in order to get to his next traffic control post. Harold broke his knee and foot and tore his rotator cuff in the accident. He later developed excruciating pain in his legs. His orthopedist suspected CRPS, which is a peripheral nerve disorder that usually occurs after a traumatic event.
We retained a CRPS specialist who, after much testing, confirmed the diagnosis and placed him in a multi-disciplinary pain management program, which helped him tolerate the chronic, stubborn pain. The insurance defense doctor said Harold did not have CPRS and, essentially, that he was faking, and required neither treatment nor medication. Andre M. He spent the next 11 months in and out of surgeries and confined to a wheelchair. Andre was immobilized, unable to provide for himself or his family, all while his expenses and staggering medical bills grew exponentially.
The Defense alleged that his injuries were exaggerated due to pre-existing medical conditions, that he was drunk or high at the time of the accident, and that he was travelling at an excessive speed. None of these allegations had merit, nor were they supported by the evidence.
Janusz Z. Janusz did not have a stop sign and had the right of way. Hit full-on by a large truck, Janusz sustained severe crush injuries to his feet and ankles, a fractured hip, knee, ribs, and a liver laceration. He was in the hospital for 33 days. The severity of his injuries left Janusz permanently disabled—unable to return to work, provide for his family or live the very physical life he had enjoyed before the accident.
An insurance company investigator visited Janusz in the Emergency Room to get a statement while he was heavily medicated, shortly after the accident. They denied all liability. They hired a private investigator right after the accident, before he even retained legal counsel, who followed and videoed Janusz for a total of days, in an attempt to prove he was not truly injured. We fought tooth and nail to force a timely and fair settlement but ultimately had no choice but to go to trial.
In the courtroom Defense counsel painted Janusz as a faker and malingerer but we presented the jury with the best expert witnesses, accident reconstructionist and skilled trial attorneys.
Lauren B. The motorcycle swerved to avoid being struck and passenger Lauren B. CRPS is a serious medical condition caused by severe damage to the nerves, an injury that we are very familiar with but that insurance companies often refuse to acknowledge.
The pain from CRPS is intense and chronic but not easy to prove. The insurance company refused the claim outright and the adjuster would not even pay for the damage to the motorcycle. Despite receiving recall notices to fix the problem, repairs were never made even though they were very inexpensive.
Mario C. Mario braked, locked up and went down with his bike landing on his leg. He sustained a broken knee and required surgery. We advised Mario not to settle for that amount and took the case to trial. James C.
