I'm no expert on rice rockets, but I'm pretty sure her a$$ way exceeds the maximum allowable load on that poor bikes suspension. Good thing the fenders 3 feet over the rear tire to begin with.

Maybe it's a really good photo shop thing. Or no idea how much weight is on those shocks maybe there a custom job just for her weight. But i'm certain that bike would be bottomed out, and as someone stated and I agree the first corner they come into would become a really bad day.

wow.......and what's up with thin guys and really BIG women?

I saw a couple the other day...

he was maybe 140 lbs soaking wet

she was probably pushing 400 lbs and there isn't enough flour in the entire Costco chain to find the correct wet spot on her

I know to each their own but.. ....HTF does this guy do it?
