Not sure about this year but last year my hardest was the ride I took to Montreal; Had to take a lot of breaks for that because my knees would start to hurt after a while and using my frame sliders as footrests is probably not the best idea I've had on the Highway.
Plus there were some other issues with that trip I'm not really comfortable getting into.

Probably not as well as it should, Been stuck in this weird 10-15 lbs yoyo loop for a long while now.

That depends on what I'm doing, if it's highway I tend to sit further back so I can lean forward, in the streets I sit closer to the tank.

Usually a bit loose on there

I don't think I put a lot of weight on the legs, just enough for them to be firm on the pegs. But I could be wrong, Not sure how I can gauge that exactly but it could explain the knee pain for the Montreal trips

On purpose not a lot, not sure about small movements from stopping and going though.

Again depends on what I'm doing, if it's highway I try to take a small break every hour/hour and a half, in the streets it's usually more about when I reach whatever place I'm going to.

Don't really take that into consideration.

Scraped my knee a bit when I low sided the bike on my 5th day of riding, that was at low speed though, did an involuntary wheelie at a green light, my ego was bruised a bit more.
