Don't weigh yourself in motorcycle gear

Spent 2 days riding to support the MS fund raiser. Put on over 500 km. Decided to do my weigh in today with all of my gear on: boots, chaps, jacket and helmet. Don't do it!

    Lmao. I can't imagine how much all of that must've weighed. My work boots weigh like 5lb each :lol:

    I did that once to set up the suspension on my motorcycle (which is based on rider weight in full gear). I forgot the exact number, but it went from ~150 lbs. to something like 180-190 lbs.

    Tomorrow is my weigh day, I'll be relieved to have lost all of that weight. Biggest overnight loss ever! I'll take it.

    :lol: I recently used motorcycle gear as an example of heavy clothes in an argument just this week.

    How much did it weigh (if you remember?!)
    I think my jacket alone is a few kgs!
