mornhm - FSO Serious Thumper Offline HMMM Posts: 1105 Gender:	Re: how much weight will the savage carry? Reply #9 - 08/01/06 at 12:11:33 I weigh just over 200, my older son wrestled at about 150, the two of us were really too much for the Savage stock suspension (even adjusted for the heaviest setting) imho. However my younger son who weighs in around 130 with me was OK.

Reply #13 - 08/03/06 at 15:15:38 Yesterday I met a friend of my son's walking - I happened to have my spare helmet with me and told him to jump on. I'm about 220, he's something more and it was too much. I'm glad he was only going about 5 miles down the road.
