What amazes me is that some people claim to only carry half as much weight as I do.
Photo where I was loaded up at the start of two weeks, about three days of food packed, for clothing and gear I expected weather to range from sub-freezing to 90s and I was glad that I packed for that range of weather.

I think the amount of stuff on your loaded rig in the picture is about the norm I have seen people riding with. A couple of weeks ago I saw two riders riding through town here with about the same amount of stuff.
