The Heaviest

[Friday]

The heaviest bike (biggest too) I've ever ridden was my buddy's Boss Hoss. His had the 350 V8. 1200lbs.
It was actually balanced pretty good. I was being gentle cause my buddy's bike ya-know, but I could tell it wouldn't be kind to hot-doggin' fools.

Heaviest bike I've lifted up on the center-stand; my Goldwing. 850lbs. The engineering of it is good, location, leverage and all that, but it's still 850lbs that requires determination and a pretty good grip.

Heaviest passenger; my buddy Paul that I had to give a lift during bike week to go get his bike. Dadgum Paul is like 6'3/265 or whatever...and he's climbing on the back of my wing all shaky as hell. Felt like I had Herman Munster back there. I swear it was a test to see if I could hold the bike up. It inspired me for the tattoo on the inside of my eyelid, "The passenger shall not be bigger than I am"

My first street bike was a Kawasaki concours. Bought it when I was 17. In the world of road bikes It probably wasn't especially heavy but dang did it feel top heavy when you filled up that 7.5 gallon gas tank. I really miss that bike. Hope to buy something similar some day.

I've had to pick my 741lb FLSTS up off the ground, but it has crash bars, so it's kind of cheating.

That's a giant bike for 17.
The Connies have an almost cult-like following.

It was a fantastic bike. I commuted on it year round for about five years. Really enjoyed it.

Idk how yall ride such heavy bikes. Pretty sure I’ve never had one over 400 lbs.

It carried its weight well, but my GS was about 600 pounds before adding crash bars, luggage, etc. really only felt it as momentum coming to a stop or manhandling it around.
My Tuareg is 450 pounds and feels like a bicycle now. I love it.
