Dude,
I made a crack about 330lbs being overweight and everyone started talking **** as if grown men's feeling were hurt.

If you mean why I didn't bow down vs bow up then you are cut from a different cloth.

Does anyone have an opinion on the safety of this ride? Unfortunately I can't lose 100lbs before we leave .
This is almost exactly my status when I ride double. I have a 2010 Limited and run 40#'s in front and rear. I run 50#'s in shocks and have rode this way in the Smokey's and have never bottomed out even with the 1" lowering kit in rear. In fact the handling feels better riding 2 up. Make sure brake pads are in good shape as it does require a little more effort to stop. Plan your parking very carefully as it is most difficult to hold the load up if not on level ground when parking. Have rider dismount before parking, ask how I know.

Yeah, I deserved it! Hope your collision with a texter is around the next corner... You'll really deserve it for that remark... Hope it comes sooner than later. We can compare notes.

Me, writing 330lbs is overweight does not equate to me wishing ill-will on the Dude - such as a collision.

Shows what a Poser you are... Your time will come, hope the cager makes it count.

I'm 260 and the wife is 110. With all of her "accessories" we're pretty loaded down too. Never had a problem.

I'd rather ride with a happy fat man that a skinny ******* any day of the week. But that's just me.

Obviously the Black FroBro is a poser. And a sensitive one.
Sounds like that whiney baby needs a tissue.
Probably should be on the 'busa forum.
Or maybe "Big Wheels Forum".
Hey OP, go for it, enjoy the ride. Sorry about Bro Troll comin' in there...
