    Carrying that non slip mat around must be a nuisance.

    I enjoyed watching that, with my luck I would rip the phucking seat off and the stand would fold up as it leaned back over. lol

    Being a Harley I assumed this was an oil catch mat.

    Of cause race bikes dont generally weigh about as much as a small country (except for the hyobag 250's, those things are awkward bastards)

    Most 80s bikes are top heavy too.

    Tis a fair comment. I could easily create a situation where a girl is not picking up a bike. Easiest would be pea like gravel where your feet slide... I have a lot of experience dropping the bike in awkward places, then trying to get it up again

    Deep dry sand is a bitch, especially on a slope with a heap of luggage - bike just keeps sliding away. Also, a standard size sidestand does no good at all. It may even be the reason the bike is having a nap in the first place.

    I'm still contemplating a crack at the Simpson. I must be nuts.
    I may not be as good as I once was, but I'm as good once as I always was.

    Ummmm......... my GS fully loaded comes up more easily than my DR does - in sand too. Sadly, although my wife got the video of us going down, she didn't take one of me picking it up again.

    Never aiming to get it above me but.
