Slept many a night on the ground in the military. I took the bride out for her first camping trip. The first night it was 100 degress, the second night we had 5 inches of rain. She said NEVER again.
Roughing it for her is no hair dryer or coffee.
She will ride anywhere as long as there is a hotel or a casino involved.

We like the Jacuzzi have to keep MAMA happy and she did enough camping when we first got married 24 years ago. She will stay on the bike 650 miles in one shot and not say a word, so I have to treat here to that at least. Makes our trips so much better. Ride safe.
