Patrick “Vroom Old Man” Cornell rides his Indian Pursuit equipped with a Wild Ass seat cushion over 200,000 miles in one year and is poised to set four world records.
This is a press release from Wild Ass Seat Cushions…
Patrick Cornell, known as “Vroom Old Man” on social media, just finished riding his 2025 Indian Pursuit motorcycle over 200,000 miles in one year. That is more than eight times around the Earth at the equator. What made it possible for Patrick and his motorcycle nicknamed “Pappy” to ride all those 1000-mile days back-to-back? A reliable motorcycle, exhaustive mechanical preparation, unequivocal attention to his body’s need for good nutrition and hydration…and a Wild Ass seat cushion!
When Patrick first bought his WildAss seat cushion a year ago at the full retail price, he stated to brand owner Craig Johnson, “If it doesn’t work, you’re getting this sucker back!” A year later, after nearly riding more than Artemis II traveled to the Moon, Patrick rolled into the Finish Line Party at Bert’s Black Pearl Indian & Triumph in Fort Myers, Florida, stating, “This cushion does everything you said it would do.”
“That’s one helluva testimonial for an aftermarket product like ours,” says Craig Johnson, founder of Wild Ass seat cushions. “I am so proud to have had a customer like Patrick Cornell and his motorcycle, Pappy. We are all hoping Guinness awards him the four certified records he is due—Longest Continuous Motorcycle Ride in One Country, Most Days on a Motorcycle Averaging 1000 Miles, the Most Consecutive 1000 Mile Days on a Motorcycle, the Most Miles Ridden on a Motorcycle in One Year awards.
The engineered technology exclusive to Wild Ass provides superior cushioning, cooling and breathability. It is unlike what the less expensive competitors and primary seat manufacturers use…and it really makes a difference on those long rides. Patrick just proved it. Congratulations!
