I agree, it is a pain ... to have to lube up the chain on the bike, however I still do it just to keep it in tip top shape.
I am looking at the belt drive conversion as well for spring
How do the English say it? Lubing a chain is a doodle? Meaning it is a breeze given one of two conditions. One. You have a lift. Two. You have a friend walk the bike while you squat/waddle beside it and spray the lube on. Having to lift the bike off the side stand, walk it two feet, place it back on the side stand, lube, repeat. Is a pain. No doubt about it!
Option one is so easy it makes me sick. Not only is the lube application brainless, but you get to wipe the chain with a rag, in effect cleaning the chain too. Option 2 affords the same wiping. That is if your friend is patient.
PS: There is a viable 3rd option: Buy a scott oiler and kick back in the evening while all your friends are duckwalking beside their bikes in the parking lot!  Quack quack.
