Would love to get into tent camping with the bike. Have a street glide. Anyone point me to a good site for more information or tents to check out? I would never have guessed they packed that small. If I could get a tent and sleeping back in one saddlebag it would be an option.

Thanks for the help.

Here's a pic of my 3-man tent in the bottom of a '14 SG saddlebag. The second pic shows my sleeping bag (in a compression sack) and inflatable mattress on top of the tent.

I just purchased last month a Marmot Limelight 3 tent on sale for $209.00 plus tax from Dicks Sporting. Regularly priced at $279.00. 24"x 8" packed, weighs 6
lbs.
REI, Back Country, Sunnyside, are also good places to look.

This one below is at Steel Wheel Campground in Deadwood. Nice place to stay.

In Arizona, about to take a week long trip to Zion in Utah. I started the day before in Calimesa California. The stuff sack on top it's my sleeping bag, the roll is my tent rolled up in my sleeping pad.

Definitely some great shots. Menasha Ridge Press has a "Best in Tent Camping" series that would work very for motorcycle campers. Here's a link to the newly revised Virginia guide, written by yours truly, and hot off the presses....

I bet I've got the oldest tent still in use. Here's a picture from last summer when a fellow PGR ride captain had a campout for his wedding. The green tent on the left is from Wards, purchased in the mid 70's, which I've traveled with all over the country for over 4 decades. My Ultra is the one in the foreground on the right.

The second pic is of our '91 Bunkhouse camper, and my lovely lady enjoying a quiet afternoon.

Care to share the name of the tent? That looks like the clear deal to keep the dew off the bike when tenting.

Tents and other camping equipment designed for backpacking usually works well for bike camping too, since it's designed to be light and pack small. Google REI, North Face, Cabella's, etc. Good tents are not cheap, but will last a lot longer and provide better protection than a cheap wal-mart one.

If you are traveling alone, one of the best ways is to roll out your sleeping bag, fold it over lengthwise on itself, and roll the tent up inside the sleeping bag. Strap the whole works on your back seat and you will have the most comfortable backrest you've ever used!

You can stuff the whole thing into a standard size garbage bag, and now it's waterproof! On my very first trip in 1972, I can still remember swiping a new garbage bag out of a garbage can at Big Bend National Park in Texas.
