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.
As you say ....Whatever If you start out w/10 miles and work your way up and some real boots soon its 20 and so on....... Like I said thats just me... Not a lot of sitting going on here......
HaHaHa! That video kicks ass!!! Looks just like me...NOT. 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.
So, how is that doing something TO you bike except riding it? Want to discuss fantasy riding, start a thread in The Perfect Line!

New swing arm bearings,new front wheel bearings, new fork seals and oil,FD oil,re wire clean up w/ PDM 60 and having ted porter rebuild my shocks....so far.... oops ,almost forgot....New led headlights and handle bar switch too....
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!
I got mine from a small Dutch webshop (they don't ship abroad). It's basically this and then cut into stripes: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/3M-Scotch...ur-Range-inc-Black-White-UK-680-/131310380576
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...
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.
