ADV riders posing

You mean there's more to being an adventure rider than that?

Bugger, I'm going to have to watch the Long Way Round again to try and pick up some more tips.......

Maybe if I splashed some mud on the bike????

No, it's raining, I'll get all wet

Yeah I got some funny looks standing up going through Amberley on the Blackbird a few weeks ago, but it was towards the end of a 750km ride and being SB I am a bit short on nature's padding

.
Standing is easier to do, and looks somewhat less retarded, on adventure bikes...

So you could get a good long look at their arses. Your reputation as a batty boy has obviously reached the Beemer club.
(probably riding at 70kmh so you had a slim chance to catch up, and ask them out for a buttered backside).

I must confess to the odd indiscretion.

Life is all about risk, if you are not standing on the edge, you are taking up too much room!

Yes ... I do it every now and then just to take the pressure off my butt. It's good to change position every so often to keep the blood circulating ....
