Me too. I get people meeting me for the first time and they say."you're big".
And I say "how do you know, I havent had my pants down yet"
It's a language/colloquialism/dialect thing.
I've had people ask me if I'm slack, meaning am I not not busy at the present time.

I fit okay with a pad on the seat and the butt-stop removed; but there's the occasional bump that makes me wonder what's going on on the chassis.
It was only when I was cleaning out the storage box that I saw the sticker giving the maximum load: 225 pounds.

But I need beefier rear struts. I'll be carrying the usual gear...clothes; coats, bedroll; tent. I have a way to rig a milk crate to the rear; but even unloaded, I bottom out on it.
