Dry weight 704, wet weight 771.6

How can gas and oil weigh 67.6 lbs? Gas is 39lbs, oil is maybe 2lbs a quart at 5.5 qts that's 11lbs, coolant is 2.5 lbs a qt at 2 quarts is 5lbs

wet weight must include the battery.

39+11+5=55 still 12lbs short.

I'm pretty bored at the moment.

Weights drummed into me from my flying days - important for weight and balance calculations done *every* time you fly:
Gasoline: 6 lb /gallon (US) - 6 gallon tank = ~ 36 lb
Oil: 6.5 lb / gallon (US) - 6 quarts = ~ 9 lb
Water: 8 lb / gallon (US) - 2 gallons = ~ 16 lb.

That's getting up there.

It's not very heavy when it's standing up, but if you let it fall over then it gets very heavy.

You didn't add in blinker fluid

Yeah when on their side they are blinking heavy even without the blinker fluid.

When I broke my throttle cable last weekend I had just filled the tank ready to ride about 200 miles to the next fuel stop. I sort of feel sorry for the guy who had to push it up onto the truck to get it back to Christchurch.
