Another important consideration is how hard it is to use offroad. I've chosen wisely as mine is quite hard to use on rough stuff.  [cheeky]

yes it is
Causing me pain is a sport after all.  [thumbsup]

I can relate to the picking up the bike video.

That time I rode in the soft stuff for a day, the bike got very heavy after the sixth drop and felt like it was made of lead by the tenth.  [laugh]

See?

I chose wisely  ;D.

I followed the "how to lift a motorcycle" tutorial EXACTLY* the last time my DR fell over  [laugh].



*except for the "hornswaggling".
