My BMI is about a half a point below "healthy." It'd probably get back up to "healthy" if I just stopped riding

What materials did you use (especially the shiny stuff )?

------
So here's my latest... And final purchase for a long while...



It's a Challenge Distance... The older, slightly fatter variant of the Challenge Seiran

Weight Fully loaded (what you see in the photo plus head/tail lights and mount and fenders).... ~40 pounds - scale isn't exactly accurate. So Vehicle + rider is ~175 pounds (79kg)
