I literally have to grab my pants leg and use my arm to lift my leg over the seat. I don't do any serious off road riding anymore, but I would like to be able to ride on fairly smooth dirt roads. I also like the idea of having panniers to carry stuff. But since there are no dealers for this bike, I don't know how difficult it would be to get on and off of. The seat looks a LOT more comfortable than the 2x4 on the XT. Anybody have any opinions on this? I live in AZ, I guess I could drive to CSC in CA and sit on one. I would hate to order one and find out I couldn't get on it. Thanks for any input. Jerry

I live in Yuma.... would love to show you the bike. I am in San Diego until Sept.
