Dude that is bad ***! I've heard of car rooftop tents before but, never motorcycle tents. Are those a thing or did you make it yourself?

Abel Brown makes it and it's called a nomad. Packs small since it has no poles.

Very cool. Fancy version of what we used to use decades ago. This looks like it would keep me drier AND the bugs out.

I have an '85 Suzuki GS550E that I tore down and started to rebuild about 8 years ago. Life got in the way and I gave up on the project and kind of even forgot I had it. It's been in a buddys garage ever since I started working on it and has just sat for years. I finally went and picked it up and brought her home yesterday. Hope to find the boxes of crap that I had purchased back then and get her back in riding order before too long. Anyway, now that she's back home I can officially call her a Stablemate to my others.

A pic of her in all her dusty, dirty, skuzzy, partially assembled glory:
