with respect, suncruiser, thinking of taking 140 lbs of load on a bike trip is not really reasonable.
You may think it is ok on paper, but in reality it will be a whole mess of trouble.
I'd urge you to get out on some test trips with whatever bike you have and see how X lbs is, and go from there.
good luck with trying out touring.
