I would imagine that seat is comfortable for about the length of time it takes to ride out of the garage and to the end of the drive.

Do you have to balance the stand on an impact socket every time you stop?

It's nice of them to highlight the tyre valves so clearly. I've always had huge issues locating where exactly on the rim they are.
