It's SO much fun to not have to:
1. figure out how you're going to pick it up by yourself.
2. wrestle it through a 30-point turn on a narrow track...on gravel.
3. watch the fuel gauge sink to 'E' as multiple cylinders go on a feeding frenzy.
4. ask for help from bystanders to muscle it onto the center stand with panniers, camping gear, and a full fuel load.
5. tip-toe backwards on a freshly-dieseled service station drive.
6. watch the sidestand foot melt into the simmering asphalt.
