Early on I wasn't happy with the Classic. I got a gel pad (with imitation sheep skin cover), but used it very very little up until the Nashville Raid. Enroute, with Molinoman, scot in exile, and Josef, we went about 100 miles before I had to pull over and put the pad in the saddle bag. My ass was burning up. It seemed to be absorbing every bit of engine heat. The relief was immediate. I've found that the Classic has become much more comfortable with time. I've been told that the gel pad can be refrigerated a bit, you don't want it too cold or it'll be sucking out the 'roids.
New computer is a "pisser", is that a good thing. Now pisser clams are a good thing.
