5'11" 155-160, depending on when I took a dump last. Yeah, I am a skinny bastard. But, it just helps me be that much faster.

5 feet 5 inches, short legs (29 inside leg if you believe the label of my jeans) 12stone (about 83kg???).
I can only get one foot on the ground at a time when I'm on the bike at junctions but, most of the time that's OK, just have to be careful of serious cambers!! |

wolfgang, You can post an introduction in the introduction forum if you like. I noticed you only had two posts so I went looking for your intro to compliment you on a beautiful blue blackbird. My wife feeds me well too, I was 75kg when married and a few weeks ago I topped out at 105kg - I'm back down to 96kg and going down (at 180cm or just under 6ft).

178cm and 75-ish kg. Still young and reasonably fit. Cycled across most of Europe eighteen months ago and now trying not to lose the resulting physique!

188cm (6ft 2) and approx 115kgs... plenty of fat covering the muscle underneath, but I put that down to the maori heritage!

My wife doesn't care what she weighs now either.........    | Hey brother, more power to you, as long as you feel strong and healthy who cares what you look like or how much you weigh.
I go to the gym 3 to 4 times a week not to loose weight but just to keep my energy up.
I am 45 years old, 5' 9" and 210lbs. I used to be 145lbs but that weight will never be seen again as long as I am living.
This is an interesting thread though, the general trend that I noticed is that birds are piloted by older riders.
How about a thread on receding hairlines

6'2 - 215 lbs, I'd do the conversion to metric, but they said there'd be no math.

I'd like to change my vote now. At the first of the year I was 315 lb. (embarrassing!) at 6' 2" and my wife was not fairing much better.
We've gone all out. I took up the bicycle and the iron. We hired a personal trainer to help get us goin in the right direction. Total diet makeover as well. That took some getting used to but it works.
I'm proud to say I'm now 250lb and still 6'2". I've never been faster on the dirt or the track. I rode 100k on the bicycle 2 weeks ago here in Tulsa and I feel better than I ever have.
I've all but cursed God for giving me the desire for moto's but putting me in a big boned lumberjack's body! I think he'd say get off the beer and chips so much ya sap!
The XX works regardless.
