I know it’s been posted before but it’s so good
Stand or Sit ??
I do a bit of both and usually stand on downhill sections as it easier to transfer weight, fore & aft or side to side
Uphill - I usually sit, as it’s easier to load the back wheel for traction, by transferring weight to the rear mudguard area
However I do come from a Trials riding background, from the age of 12 where standing up, is the normal mode …although Trial and Trail bikes are totally different

Always a funny watch...no matter how many times.
I hoot at the instructor who takes a swipe at the rider with his boot
You’re standing and sitting here john, a bit of both eh?

I bet when you stand up you can almost see over the top of the screen.I've always stood up when trail riding the nadgery, rutted stuff as I find it easier to control the bike and can look further down the trail. It's also a lot easier to jump off a moving motorcycle when not sat down
For higher speeds I always sit down ... natch
AlmostI bet when you stand up you can almost see over the top of the screen.
I started off sitting (maybe I should have stood like Miserable Git)
Had to stand to try to dismount
Ideally… it’s not a given science
I've done that when shit faced, normally to stop shitting myself while I throw up in the sink!Think this is turning into a confessional?! Lol

Cwmythig Hill, feck me. I rode my R100gs around that Moto cross track.
Which was nice.
I do a mix of on the seat and on the pegs. I stand to move about the bike more easily on dodgy tracks, I sit on fast gravel stuff mostly, but do still stand. I spent good money on decent suspension for the 701LR, so my legs don’t act as shock absorbers, they are clamped against the Steg pegs, holding the bike. I also stand on the road on both my GS and 701LR. Recent TET trip to France and on the way back from the Troyes area, the long road stretches were made more palatable by standing up in the villages. Let’s the blood move around my arse cheeks and gets some welcome airflow into the suit. I don’t care if others thing I look daft stood up - my bike, my sore arse!
No problem with that; but pulling into a tarmaced car park where there's plenty of spectators;; i mean visitors is'nt a good look;

My mantra has always been ‘sit when you can, stand when you have to’
