Orange, CA – December 11, 2006 - MetricThunder.com is happy to announce the Thunder Saddle Tattoo contest sponsored by Saddlemen, which runs monthly from November 2006 through June of 2007.

It’s an online tattoo contest where the winner receives a custom Thunder Saddle for his/her motorcycle with the tattoo embossed in the seat of the saddle.

Contestants submit a photograph of their tattoos at the MetricThunder.com website. Celebrity judge Keith Ball of Bikernet.com selects the best of the best for that month to be stitched into a custom Thunder Saddle.

We have seen some really outstanding ink work from Bikers and I’m excited to see the finished product on the Thunder Saddles.
- Keith Ball, Bikernet.com Owner.

November’s winner was Paul Sedley of Sarnia, Ontario Canada. He submitted an arm tattoo that depicts a rifle muzzle stuck into the ground with a GI helmet slung on the stock that sits inside a cross. The tattoo is completed with dog tags wrapped around the bottom of the cross.

I think this winning tattoo expresses the ultimate price for freedom. We had many outstanding tattoos and it was a pleasure to see Bikernet.com and Metricthunder.com enthusiasts getting involved.
- Ball

The Thunder Saddle is not just a pretty seat, it’s very comfortable too. Each saddle comes equipped with SaddleGel™ from Saddlemen. SaddleGel™ evenly distributes weight across the surface of the seat while absorbing and eliminating the extra pressure that is normally experienced at the hip bones and the tail bone. These pressure points or “hot spots” create a loss of blood flow, causing discomfort. SaddleGel™ increases circulation, which enhances comfort.

The comfortable motorcycle seat and the custom saddle have been mutually exclusive up till now. This promotion shows how you can customize your saddle to your own imagination while reducing vibration and eliminating pressure points.
- Bob Osias, Owner of MetricThunder.com

Saddlemen is excited to be a part of this unique and fun contest. We’re showing the world some of our custom seat capabilities as well as creating some very unique memories for our customers.
