Riders Rest Hammock
Looks like a pain in the *** to install the brackets, but once they're on, could be a handy thing to have on the bike. Anyone have experience with these?

I came across it while looking for a good compact covered hammock to keep on the bike for camping. I like the looks of the Hennessy Hammock and would probably prefer that (mounts between two trees) - but how cool would it be to take a nap and never leave your bike?

On a hot day, once the motor's cooled off, it'd be great.
Came close to buying the Hennessy, but was put off by the inherent problem of insulating for cold temps. They require quite an awkward arrangement w/ the insulation on the underside. Also could get stuck needing to setup camp where there are inadequate trees (thinking breakdown in the desert).
So I went w/ a weather/mosquito-proof bivy sack (photo). Light, packs small, super EZ setup, contains my sleeping bag & air mattress. Plus I carry a tarp, just in case

With mosquite netting and a rain fly to keep the dew off, it might be the perfect way to sleep.

I'd love to have one of those wiskybilt hammocks, but $450 is a bit steep I think. Certainly not $450 worth of materials there.
