Doesn't help if you are a weak ass fat boy but riding on the highway between 120-140 i don't really want to stand up

That's the best time to stand up. Progress from merely standing to taking your hands off the bars at the same time. I recommend cruise control to really make this fun.

Why not just ride it like a skateboard? Bonus points if you can ollie over a slow moving car.

Not my fault you didn't get a 1200 My old 650 was certainly not comfortable!

I spent 6 years commuting on a DRZ motard. That thing had a skinny little plank for a seat. MX bike, go figure.

I like the way you think.

F800GS, test rode the 1200GS when I bought and didn't like the motor vibration.

Flap your arms like a bird, now you're (kinda) literally flying part the traffic

1200's don't vibrate past idle revs unless something in the engine isn't synced correctly (easy for them to adjust). I mean it's a boxer, should be almost perfectly balanced

Felt it under heavy acceleration on the second hand test bike but that was 6.5 years ago.

Guys I think my chain needs to be adjusted. I've looked at a few youtube videos and it looks pretty simple. I don't have a torque wrench though. Is there a shop in CPT I can go to adjust the chain or just do it myself?

DIY. What you need a torque wrench for? The wheel nut? Torquing that up is easy. Tighten till you hear the crack and then back it off a quarter turn.

I'm scared of over tightening the axle nuts or not tightening it enough. Some guys seem very anal on having them at the correct spec.
