    First I will just say:... Whatever.
    And second I will say: Bullshit! You aint standing on the pegs for 20 or 40 miles and the bikes potential has nothing to do with that.

    Why not?

    It's way more comfortable than the stock seat.

    HaHaHa! That video kicks ass!!! Looks just like me...NOT. :muutt

    Thanks for sharing, I especially liked the prolonged wheelie. I do agree about the boots. Since I started wearing a trials type boot, longer up on the pegs time has occurred and my feet don't hurt afterwards!

    I'm nowhere near that guy but on a 100 mile dirt trip I'll be easily standing up 80% of it, pretty much anytime it's not completely flat.

    GEEZ everybody!!! WTF??? did you all miss the part where i said I was just finishing up doing a thousand friggin miles??? My ass hurt! And besides, I ride the bike more standing up than sitting down. People see you in city traffic way better and you can see what's going on way better. And yes, I regularly do so doing triple digits AND I wear an ARAI XD4 WITH VISOR!!! And you lower the center of gravity by transferring your weight to the pegs which are lower than the seat, and blah blah blah. Stop whining. The thread is what I did on my friggin bike, not bitch so you can hear yourself bitching about anything that may cause your nerves to quiver. If you want to discuss standing up verses sitting down then start a thread. If you haven't done an off road riding course and learned how to stand up then don't knock it. And if you live in Canada, you have my sympathies.

    After far too many case bashes and a couple leg catches, have switched to soft bags -- Mosko Moto Backcountry Pannier Kit. 35L each. Along with a pair of the Mosko 6L Molle storage pouches. Pleased with the initial quality and construction!

    It was a joke, I'm sure, as it made me laugh; See previous posts in this thread and you may get it. Unless you are humorless like all Canadians... :imaposer

    Well there you go, you see AssHat is Canadian for "You are clearly the most wonderful person I have ever had the glorious opportunity to meet"

    I took "Betty" out for lunch, she had a couple of gallons of 94, I had a bagel and a coffee. We then went for a ride on a glorious sunny Sunday.
