I have been thinking about upgrading my suspension on my 2006 Yamaha FZ1 which led me to wonder how much I weighed all suited up. Since I had this thought on the way home from work today I thought that I would weigh myself when I got home.

When I got inside I stepped on the scale and was very surprised to see 200.0 pounds on the readout. My first thought was that the scale was wrong. My second thought was “How much did I eat this week?”

Next, I removed my motorcycle gear (listed here) and weighed myself again. 178 pounds. 22 pounds. My motorcycle gear weighs 22 pounds. Next I took off my day clothes and stuff and weighed in at 175 pounds.

I was a little shocked that my clothes and gear weighs 25 pounds. I hadn’t expected it to weight nearly that much.

Thanks for reading and happy riding.
