Tents Moto Camping.

Bought a 2nd hand tent recently and tried it out but i soon realized that my body no longer likes sleeping in a tent! so i sold it. the one you have looks ideal for using when your away on the bike. years ago i bought one of those one touch tents and i was half way through my first can before my mates put theirs up. it was quite expensive at the time and it was a bit bigger when on the bike but i thought it was great

 

I have a few but bought a single skin French army one for about £40 off the bay for summer use. Four pegs and your nailed, two guys pegged, done ✔️
There are additional guy points if you're expecting wind.

Now I'm not suggesting for one minute this is an all seasons tent but for summer use is ideal. Being single skin the zips aren't waterproof, consequently I did have a river through the tent on Rannoch moor but that adds to the fun and it dries quickly being nylon so not really an issue.

 

I use a Kyham biker, decent sleeping size and porch for storage and cooking should you need cover, suits my needs for rallies.

 

I think the goose is an awesome bit of kit and one I've coveted for some time. The other one in a similar price bracket that works well for the bike as well is the Atacama Motorcycle tent.

To the right is my ruffing it weekender

 

When mine is "fully deployed " it has sleep out/kitchen on the right hand side and a huge 2•6 by 3•4 metres awning (garage?).
Carries ?~100 kg in the 'tub' so all the cooking utensils and food ....

 

I have a Hilleberg Nallo 3, which is great, but larger than I need for an overnight camp on my own... so I’m looking at the Teton Sports mountain ultra

Good to see you riding again @capt , what’s with the forward mounted battery?

 

I live in a very small country town, it's barely 600 or so metres from my house to the main Street !
The std original battery , even with the regulator/ rectifier wired direct to the battery (boosts through put) didn't get enough time/charge.
So two or three start's and it was flat !!
So needed a bigger battery that would take/accept and hold the higher charging rates..! But std battery box (before lithium was available) wouldn't accept the size necessary... So moved it ! Made a bracket/hanger ! Problemo solvered !!
