Motel... It's sure nice to have a hot shower after a day's ride.

Those little mini-cabins at the KOA campgrounds are actually pretty cool too and fairly cheap to rent. Park the bike right next to the front step and go inside.

All depends on what I'm doing. If we're touring on vacation we do the motel thing. It's a lot easier to get out on the road early.
When we go to Rally's we camp out with all our friends around a nice fire.
I love camping out,but like I said, It all depends on what I'm doing.

If I am traveling by myself I stop at roadside picnic area and sleep! I sometimes have to say oh excuse me officer I must have drifted off I was only taking a break for a few minutes. I woke up in Texas one time with a bus load of Japaneese Tourists around me taking pictures. So Choose your spot carefully. You could be photographed.

I have had her camping on occassions before, when we were one or two generations younger, but look at the picture we paint now.

I'll go for a room with a chair , as long as there is a working shower, and a place for her to recover from the days event.
