Hammock for Motorcycle Camping
I am thinking of getting a hammock for some camping this summer. I'd like to get some input from people who have used them.
One of my concerns, which probably isn't an issue for folks living east of the 100th parallel, is sometimes trees are hard to come by in parts of the west and southwest. Have any of you hammock campers ever had trouble finding a place to set up your hammock?

I dont have one, just did the search for you. 
I believe the guy who invented it isn't small. You could certainly send him a note.
From the looks of it you might want to let the bike cool off before you hop in, esp on a hot summer night LOL

any hammock with out the wood spacer will do,then buy a 10 by 6 foot tarp,put a grommet
at the 3 foot mark on both ends so you can tie it to the same tree as your hammock, to keep the rain off.
I put the hammock in the sleeping bag,then wrap the bag in the tarp,and tie to the bike,
