I just finished detailing my bike (so I can get it dirty) and fully loading it with "what a man needs for five days on the highway". I put EVERYTHING I thought I'd need (you guys can picture the list, I'm sure) anyways, all baggage totals 46 lbs. I was surprised how light it came out, thought it would be more like 65 lbs. In the pictures, the light stuff is purposely on the extreme tail...bike cover, cleaning towels, etc. I tried it around locally and couldn't even feel the baggage thanks to the Ventura luggage system. I'll post the whole picture thing when I return...10 guys meet at a coffee shop in Sausilito (just north of GG Bridge at 7:00am, briefing, then we're off! Costal range northbound. Have a good week to you all. Raydog
