It's all good, you should be fine. I have a SG and I weigh 330 myself my wife is about 140lbs and we have loaded it down with gear and never had any issues. Check the rear tire pressure and you should be good. Yeah we may need to lose weight but Don't let Internet tough guys who are in perfect cyber space condition rattle your cage about it.

Does anyone question the validity of a guy joining a forum and posting this as his first question? Seems a little suspicious to me........

However, keep em' coming........

It's amazing how the weak minded can jump to conclusions. And about jumping...
I'm over 300 - think you can keep up with me on a jump rope?
To the OP; just keep the RPM's up, you'll be fine, works for me...
Enjoy!

Not really. If I was going to put 500+ lbs on 2 wheels and drive across country, it would be the first thing I'd ask about too!

The only advice I have is watch for potholes, don't want to hit a deep one with a heavy load. Stay alert and eyes way down the road so ya have time to avoid them. Have a safe trip.
