    Thought that's what the leccy suspension was for. Self righting.

    Yeah, but na, but yeah. It's about the same weight as my TDM when wet. Only dropped my bike once and I dived underneath to save it with me body. And there I lay. Sometime later, there I lay. Etc. Luckily I can reach my lap top from down here.

    Gets harder each time, the BMW is around that fully fueled. Helps if you think someone is coming any minute, quick, before they see.

    Then a few hours later things start hurting...

    I've crashed my 950Adv a fair few times, and if I REALLY have to, I can get it back on two wheels.
    I usually wait for help otherwise I'm in danger of herniating something.

    A couple of times I've dropped on a hillside and had to drag the thing around 180 degrees so as to stand it up.
    Sufficed to say, it don't help the paintwork...

    Any thoughts on the pros & cons of electronically adjustable suspension on such a bike?

    I can see the benefit of quick & easy adjustment for the weight being carried & to a certain extent for speed & different surfaces. But 84 settings? Even split front & back that is a lot to tutu with. Then deciding what level of traction control & ABS to use..
