and other irrelevant chit-chat 
Posted on Adv Rider, he was complaining that the side stand won't hold up his loaded 990. 160 pounds of gear, for a trip to Florida! He is 245. Unreal. I don't think I have 160 pounds of gear I could even pack...This is mind boggling. I cant imagine riding a bike that overloaded.

Re: Dig This Guys Loaded 990
I had that problem on my KLR when I loaded it up for a trip. I had to shorten the sidestand.

Jeez, dude, leave the cappuccino maker at home.
I thought *I* had a tendency to over-pack.

It was a latte machine and it alone weighed 75#! 
I think I had about 75# of gear, etc plus me at 230#. The bike would definitely sag and the stand was too long. BUT, thanks to Roadracer Al (before he defected to The Republic of Kalifornia) I got a shorter sidestand.
