beth b
the cheap part is because i only plan on using it a few times this year, then get a better one next year,and the small part is because i have limeted space to carry on a motorcycle, any ideas
Answer
I am a cross country motorcyclist as well as a camper/hunter. On my bike trips -- and in the woods -- I have used a Kelty Gunnison 2 for the last couple of years. Almost any backpacking store has great items that can also be used for motorcycling, for one simple reason -- it all packs small. I don't know what you mean by cheap. I think I paid a little less than $100 for mine. It was on sale. As summer gets closer to ending and the camping season starts to wind down, the outdoor adventure stores start to have sales.
If those are too expensive, I'd go to Wal*Mart and see what they have to make due until you can get the one you want. Good luck and safe riding.

Motorcycle camping?
MotorKitty
Has anyone been camping and taken their motorcycle -- ie packed up all camping gear on the bike? Me and the hubby are going to the BMW motorcycle rally in a couple weeks and we are camping out.
This is going to be such an adventure. :D
Anyone ever done the motorcycle camping thing, gimmie some tips or feedback.
Thanks!!!
Someone asked do we own the bike the answer is YES. Its a BMW R1150R Rockstr 2004.
we got a U Pack and a 3 person tent from REI and self inflating ThermaRest sleeping pads. And sleeping bags that have a very small stuff size.
Answer
take a folding Sterno stove so you can cook in your tent if it rains (they fit in your back pocket) for coffee tea or stew & the little packages of oatmeal for breakfast (just add water) your ride will be more fun if you can package most of your gear & mail it to a place near your camp site & pick it up when you get there. I've never mailed my stuff thats why I have to ride alone and look like sanford & son on 2 wheels with all the trash bags flaping behind me.
you will need to get 1 of those little 8" around x 6" high coleman cooking sets that comes inside a little t pot & fits in its own zipper bag. take a flash light that will hang inside your tent. take a few trash bags & some bungies for the souveniers you will want to bring home. you are gonna have so much fun & enjoy the freedom so much you wont want to ever come home.
