SICVIC 0 Posted June 10, 2014 The bike should be picked up this week and start inching its way across the U.S; final destination, Wilmington, NC.Today I did a final check to make sure I have the right stuff going and the right stuff staying. No doubt I'll F something up.I also weighed the gear ....Here are the final numbers.Weight on body: 41 lbsThis is riding gear and whatever I'm carrying on person.Weight on bike: 41 lbsThis is anything packed on the bike. Camp, tools, tubes....This does not include food, water or extra fuel.I have the option to carry an extra 2 gal of fuel. 12 lbsI have 170oz max capacity of water. 9 lbsThis makes my min weight at 82 lbs and the max at about 105 lbs.(only plan to have the 2 gal extra gas three times)*long legs*Is what it is.Here's a pic of everything. Looks light(ish) in the picture huh???? Sending out one group THANK YOU to everyone who posted up and to those who helped me leading up to this. (called me crazy) Should be pretty cool. Looking forward to the challenges, serenity, wind, sunrise, sunsets, stream crossings (little ones), sleeping in ditches, alien probing and Sasquatch sightings. OH MAN!
