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.

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.

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.
