100 lb pilot
260 lb rear passenger
Max fuel for that loading;

Looks like it’s right on the edge of the envelope, but just OK.

How is it with the 100 pound pilot, 2 gallons of fuel, and no passenger?

I'm wondering about a 360 pound pilot, 2 gallons of fuel, and no passenger and the forward CG?

That looks like it just exceeds the forward limit, even with max fuel.

A 300 lb pilot could make it work - if he could even manage to squeeze himself in.

As an aside, I just started cycling again, and have dropped to right around 180 lbs from the 190 I’ve been just at or below for quite some time. About an extra gallon or two with a heavy passenger from when I made my “cheat sheet” seen above. Just modified it to reflect my new weight:

More fuel is a good thing.

Or they're shooting at you. :(

(Fortunately, nobody's been shooting at me for over 50 years)
