Just on the off chance that somebody takes this advice seriously:
NOT ON MY BIKE! That's taking a reasonably pricy product (and some Brooks saddles have gone into the seriously pricy range) and doing what the manufacturer expressly tells you not-to-do. I've broken in 3 of the things and I just havn't found that kind of thing to be necessary. Honestly, I think that all the weird stories I hear about breaking in Brooks saddles are greatly overstated.
