It pulls real nice. It is old. Probably built in the early 70's. I can set the cruise at 85 and sit back. Only know it's there in town. On the road you barely know it's there.
This, plus I usually have the throwover saddlebags so I can have an extra pair of pants and shirt and throw in some coffee and my small percolator coffee maker.
Found out the hard way in the mountains in E TN during late fall when I was just broke enough to not be able to afford anything but gas to get around on a trip there and back to W TN, pants and shirt got to stinkin' even to myself and had nowhere but a small stream that was literally ice friggin' cold to try and bathe in and wash the pants and shirt in. No money to put them in a dryer in a laundromat, so suffered near a small campfire trying to keep warm and dry the damned things off...while wearing them, as I was in a small pull-off from the road so couldn't sit there nekkid while cars went by each way once in a while.

Usually, I'd agree with Diablo, just get a hotel. But, hotels can be ridiculously expensive depending on where you are. I have given this some thought and have considered purchasing a Hennessy Hammock tent.
I have a friend who has started hammock camping and says it is the best way to go; very comfortable and a very small package to pack. Only problem is sometimes you have to get creative on where/how to setup if you are someplace with not a lot of trees.
That's what I have done the past year or so. It has worked great except for out in the mid west where there weren't any trees. I did manage a night or two an inch off the ground tied off to a fence post and the front fork of my bike.
