I've had a couple of good tents so I'll start. Here's my old "touring" softail with a Cabela's XPG 4-man in the first picture and my Tarptent in the next one. I would love to see other setups -- anybody?

Kato ... You and I could ride together ... Your photo looks like many of my "weekend rides"

 

 

OK... stupid question from someone who has never tent camped from my bike but how do you haul the tent? Do they pack up very small? I saw one pulling a trailer but short of that option how do you pack all your stuff on the bike without having an ultra? Just curious how small it pack.

Thanks

 

 

Not a stupid question. I've done a little backpacking, where pack size and weight are crucial, so I'm real particular about my gear. Tents range in packed size. For example, my tarptent (above) is really a 1-man tent, but packs up to about the size of a 1 liter bottle. The other tent I use is a 3-man and it packs up to about 6X20" (takes up approx half of a Street Glide saddlebag with plenty of room for my sleeping bag).
