Don't weigh yourself in motorcycle gear

kardsharp

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

I did that with all my body armor, weapons, ammo one day for the heck of it...without I was 145lbs with everything 210lbs

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.

Good Heavens, no !!

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

I was just curious as to what I was carrying around for 2 days

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