That’s a fine looking specimen on a loaded twin! 🙂
Yes Michael a very good Tip indeed!
My Panniers and Tent go on the back seat in front of the rear axle.
My Monster Tail pack only has light items such as clothes in 😉
My Tank bag carries all the stuff I need to hand. Visor wipes, Sun Hat for when I take my helmet off. Sun Glasses. My Camera. a bottle of water and a small First Aid Kit.
Ha Ha I thought the same thing Michael? But I’m trusting Coleman that it will fit a chair in as it says in its advertisement. 😳
I’m Not the smallest of people ..
SHUT IT KK! :hammer:
.. but I will make the best of it besides Who will care after a few Beers :pint:
I like the look of the of option 2
But as you say they are impossible to put up if it’s just me on my own.
So with a bit of luck I hope I have chosen wisely?
The Coleman Tasman only takes 10 minutes to pitch
and it’s only 120cm tall at the highest point So I should be able to pitch on my own.
It is 3000mm hydrostatic tested So it should be waterproof enough to stay dry even in quite bad weather.
It packs into a 61cm x 18cm bag
And it only weighs 5.2kg so just over 11lbs (Two bags of potatoes) so easily transported on a motorcycle
It also states that the Colman Tasman can fit a chair and small table in the porch section.😆 I know Why! did they make the rear luggage racks so Big!?
It will be Handy as a cloths maiden or something I suppose!? 😳
I’ve got a Cargo Monster Tail pack that will hide it for most of the trip. 🙂
A chair to chill out on after a good days ride is so much better than sitting on the floor! So a chair is a must for me to.
And an air bed is great for a good nights sleep these days! Gone is the time I just use to throw my leather Jacket on the floor to sleep on! 😕
Another must for me is a Mini Stove to boil water for a Brew!
Any Body Else got any Tips?
He He Cheers for the Mention Michael :pint:
I’m quite proud to have my Bike on your site as well 😉
Oh Yer forgot to mention.
Some of you may think Why has he gone for a Three man Tent if he wants small for the bike.
I have to take into consideration that my wife Rides to so I buy on the off chance that we have a warm summer and I can twist her arm to come on a weekend camping run with me? 😕
“So that’s Only two!” I hear you say.
But then factor in your panniers and Helmets and bulky bike gear when you don’t have it on!
So as a rule I always go one person more for a tent that I intend to use on the bike. and I like to keep them cheap and replace regularly.
Plus if you have any unforeseen accidents of any kind! Its not the end of the world to bin it and Go and buy another where ever you are!
😉Ohhh now that’s handy! It worked as you can see,
Just have to be careful on how the photo was taken (landscape or Portrate)?Andy could you spin that one for me if you can.
😆 Senior Moment
Lucky you had a Young Pup on hand to keep an eye on you. You can easily get distracted these days by shiny bits!
😛🙄
Shipping would be Free if they fit in my panniers and you didn’t need them before June Michael. :pint:
Very Thorough and Very informative Michael thank you for putting our minds at rest.
It could be a very handy bolt to keep in your tool kit just in case. :O)
