Improving performance by reducing weight

LOL... yeah, like... have you seen TC... he bobbed the hell out of himself over the winter...

 So if a person says they are going on a diet we can now say "Go Bob Yourself"

[chief]

the purpose of "bobbing" a bike was to remove anything that didn't make the bike go fast... all excess weight... so I guess you are "bobbing" yourself! <g>

Will do and I didn't get a Drifter to "bob" it.  My basic plan is to move a lot more and eat less (and healthier).

Keep us apprised of your progress!   Sort of a strange way to "bob" a bike... though!

Way to go! Maybe you can share with some of us your diet and exercise plan for meeting your goal. I, myself could stand to lose a bunch too.

Gonna try to improve the performance and handling of my 800 my reducing the weight.  Started working on the this project a few days ago.  The plan is to remove 20-25lbs before I put the bike back on the road in the spring, 20-25lbs before my Lake Michigan 1000 ride in late June and hopefully another 20-25lbs before the end of the season.  That's right - gonna remove 60-75lbs and of coarse I am talking about me not the bike...LOL
