Alarming. I'm only glad I prefer Avons.

I've read that notice a few times! It says "safe for carrying up to two riders weighing more than 250 pounds each" which is poor grammar. I think it means the bike can carry riders weighing 250 pounds each, not that the two riders who crashed did weigh that much.

I cannot find the gross vehicle weight for a 2007 dresser, but for my 1990 model it allows a combined rider and luggage weight of 475 pounds. For later bikes it may be over 500 pounds.

Patricia who died may not have been a lard arse after all!
