I bet you could get 80# in a big backpack and about 45# in a set of soft saddlebags.
 
No, but I had an 80lb bag of seed corn I found along the road saddled across the tanks of my Harley one day. I was on the way to the bar. I sat it on the stool next to me, showed it a good time, then sold it for $75 to a farmer that was there.
 
This is my wife's Moped... don't have a picture of her big motorcycle...

If you look close you can see the pellet stove and 1/2 ton of pellets stored in the saddle bags...

Mine has Givi side cases, I could probably fit one bag of pellets in each case if I poured them in, don't think it would work with the pellet bags intact.

Used to haul some pretty heavy stuff with mine, but didn't burn pellets then.

k here's a good laugh for you. I been riding this for 2 years. Bought new for $3600 and paid for itself in these two years already just in fueld savings over not having to run the big diesel. I drive 7 miles to my shop every day it's not raining. 3000 miles this year so far. $6 a month to commute. In at 4:30am and home at 3-3:30

Ever see a 300 lb guy on this thing that'd be me....best run :)

Had a Ducati Diana in 1964 and didn't kill myself so counted my blessings and moved on. Sure wish I had that bike now! They are rare as a clean Little Johnny joke. The new Ducati's are wonderful bikes. I'd love to get back in the saddle.
 
Sold my Yamaha a couple of years ago as it was just sitting in the shed
collecting dust most of the year.
I miss it some days, but needed the $$ and the room at the time.

Few weeks ago saw a guy waiting at a light with 2 big bags of kingsford charcoal strapped down on his seat of his hog, guess pellets wouldn't be much different.

I sold my Yamaha many years ago, back in the 80"s the company I work for use to give me 35 cents per mile if you used your car to do stops, I was on a job in NJ 104 miles round trip it ran for almost 2 years,

Never got stuck in the GW Bridge traffic, I would strapped the tool box to the back, it was a nice check at the end of the week, boss had no clue, plus bikes were cheaper at the bridge. best of all being bald you

didn't get helmet head!!!!!
 
I bet he could carry a few ton from the load he has now.

When I was in college, this was my only vehicle. I hauled a bunch of stuff on it, including my wife.

I still have both.
