What weight does your touring set-up come to? Bike, you, luggage - total weight?
I think my planned load for a trip later this year is as light as I can get it: bike - 1150 - could be 270-280kg fuelled (TT pannier racks, crash bars, aux lights, etc). I'm currently 96kg (aiming for under 90kg before departure, but my riding gear must easily be 10kg). Panniers could be 40kg between them (including water and spare fuel canisters mounted on them). Drybag could be 10kg, tank bag another 10kg...
That all comes to 430-440kg. GVWR is 450kg.
I'm not bringing excess stuff - no coffee machines or 10 civvy outfits.
By staying under the GVWR, I'll be legal, but it'll be ponderous fo sho - you guys the same?
