Speaking of this the older generations vs the latest. I just repurchased a 2nd generation one. SMELLS SO GOOD! I had purchased the saddle during the last PCE and the leather wasn't the same, more pebbled, more shiny and did not have that lovely leather smell. So glad I returned and found an older one!I agree. I wish I had bought/kept a first generation one. Even the second generation I can say was better. The 1941 leather "use to" smell like leather...now nothing. And just not the same.
