Have you ever set out on a Camping Trip via the bike?

Need Recommendations on Light Weight Portable TENT- How to secure to bike position.
One or Two person Tent.

I had one picked out on JC Whitney but "SOLD OUT" It looked really nice too. $189 and only 16lb.

I am looking to take along on "Seaway Trail Ride" Lake Erie - Niagra - Lake Ontario - Finger Lakes.

Let me know your thoughts.

 

I use a 7' x 7' from here...

It is light, will fit in my saddlebag, and is priced right. I have used it in some hard Daytona rains and always stayed dry. Read the Boy Scout testimonials on the site. They like the tents.

 

Hey Thanks!xxxflhrci

Wow....There were only (3) left. SAVED a Bundle of $$$$$

 

It looks like you already purchased, but in any case, I use this: CLICK HERE

Perfect for solo use. Lightweight (2lbs), 3 season. Vestibule is pretty spacious to keep gear dry. I use it for backpacking primarily. Best part, you can pitch it anywhere.

 

That would be soo cool riding with a tent! I'd rather do the hotel thing.

 

Thanks TJ for the info.! I noticed it only sleeps (1) . What will you do with the TWINS?

Dallas - Just trying save a few bucks! Going North for the 4th ! Lake Erie -Niagra - Lake Ontario. and the finger lakes.

 

Yep...solo tent. I love to wild camp. I use that little tent for lots of cool trips. Last one was a trip canoeing down the Buffalo river. When it gets dark, just pull to the bank and make camp.

 

I used one of those bivy shelter tents on time for a Daytona trip. IMO, it was about one notch above sleeping in a body bag.

 

so that tent at tentsforsale is definately worth it?

 

I would say it's definitely worth $42 bucks (shipping included). But whether it's "worth it" depends on what you plan on doing with it in what kind of weather. It seems like a great bargain. Adequate for the vast majority of camping needs...not too cavernous for one, and comfy for two. I ride solo and wouldn't mind taking the bike on a short camping trip sometime, but traveling, I'd rather just do the hotel thing. More expensive, but a lot more convenient.
