Also, speaking of comfort, can someone tell me, is that riding position that I see so often, where the rider is outstretched with his feet on highway pegs mounted up on the crash bars even remotely comfy? It looks like all the weight of the rider is on the seatbone. I can't imagine doing more than a couple hundred riding that way.
