I don't mean to be mean but if you are a beginner, don't listen to this video! They say, the tents are designed by bikers. Perhaps. But not bikers who actually camp. First I get the creeps when I see a bike leaning in the direction of the tent, right on top of the sleeping folks. What if 200 kg of metal land on top of your head while you are enjoying your dreems. That actually happens, and far more often than you might think. Secondly, some of the options suggested wiegh almost as much as all my luggage for a 2-month overland trip. In fact, there should be no difference in the ammount of your luggage if you are on a 3-day trip and on a many months long trip. If your tent is heavier than 2.5 kg with space for 2 people, you need to go shopping again. Rule number one: TRAVEL LIGHT! Thirdly: bying a tent for $550? Get a hotel! There are perfectly watertight tents out there, below the $100 bar, and up to 2.5 kg. Quality tents, that is. The suggestions in this video are for folks who make spontaneous decisions overnight, buy thy most expensive gear there is, only to give it all up the day after. I am talking as someone with 13 years of overland experience and more than 30 countries covered on two wheels, on the road and off the road: you really don't want any of those tents.
yeah Arthur could not agree more,,, I just done a 30day around europe trip,,wild camping with my 35 quid lidl tent ,,perfect for the job... Looking at the Lone rider I could never get the bike in the tent and put on the main stand and why would you anyway... and the goose it packs so big and costs so much ,,nah,,,, just reading you done 30 countries,, hell I did 15 in one trip.... cheers
I do agree with you about the bike I always use my bike leaning away from my camp...so far in my 50 years of biking i never had a parked bike toppling over but that risk is just too high… However about tents… a tent for less the 100 bucks is nothing i would consider especially when traveling more then one week in the most parts of Europe. When travelling I want a tent with a high water column and a bit of a 😊lifetime. I totally agree with you on all the rest of your comment.. Weight is a major issue on two wheels travel especially off the beaten track… however the video is mostly featuring sunshine travel on asphalt roads…
I have a cheap walmart tent.. packs smaller and lighter then any of these.. toss a 10x10 sil nylon tarp over top and its shaded and protected from the rain with ample sheltered sitting room.. and costs 1/5 of most of these
I have a bin bag I got from a roll of 20 from Poundland, a local newspaper from 1981 with an interesting column on the decline of the great tit population north of Batley Carr and my mothers love to keep me warm.
Me too. Just a little 2 man pup tent with a 8'x6' tarp. 8lbs. Those tents next to the bike are dangerous. If the kick stand sinks into the ground the bike will fall and kill you in your sleep. It's happened before.
A few of these are “neat”, but some of the options in the video are large, bulky, and expensive. One even showed 3 people taking down. It’s motorcycle camping, the less gear, or smaller, means you can use the size and weight savings to improve bike handling or carry other essential gear. Being a little frugal and practical, and spend money on other necessities. 1. Look for deals on very good rated tents or good hammock setups. 2. Learn how to high-line paracord between trees and you have a garage, gear storage, or dry area. Tarps are cheap, high utility, and pack easily 3. A hammock camping setup is comfortable and compact. You can easily put together a fully equipped set of trail worthy camping gear, with dry saddle dry bags, for $400-$500.
My wife and I are on the same motorcycle and pack along the REI half dome plus tent. It suites us perfectly. it doesn't pack down the smallest but that's a sacrifice we are willing to make for the space it provides.
Thanks, good info. I never consider a tent that the promo video shows 2-3 people setting it up. That pretty much tells me flying solo it'll take more than 2 beers and a lot of cussing to get it set up on your own.
The Mini Mate camping trailer is in a class of it's own and with the optional Add-A-Room which encloses the awning it has considerably more versatility and space to hang wet riding gear. The use of a 12v dual zone camping fridge freezer powered by the motorcycle alternator and solar panels hugely improves quality of life, especially in the warmer months. The Mini Mate can also be towed by very small cars and the trailer stores gear that would otherwise have to be carried on the motorcycle.

I think I will use my already owned backpacking tent and my Kelty tarp. And make a huge custom covered porch or garage between the tent in the motorcycle. And save five hundred bucks
When riding to hike my wife and I like the Redverz. When hiking to ride solo I prefer a 2 person tent like our Big Agnes Fly Creek but there are many similar comparable models. Big enough to sleep in with all the gear but quicker and much smaller when you need the room for storage and speed to clean and depart!
The Abel Brown Nomad looks like best fit for me. I work at a H-D dealership and will get a better look at the H-D one. I'll try to remember to keep you updated.
I don't know why you even showed the trailer camper. Unless you own certain Harleys or Goodwings the are no trailer hitches available for the general motorcycle riding community. Now if someone would come up with a universal hitch mounting system...🤔
Strange how people hear an accent that is slightly monotone and assume it's a computer voice. Keep doing you. Just cause your not stuttering or using slang. Good job and keep putting in your work.
Looking at getting the Wingman of the Road Tucan, it is a 2 person Goose. I don't need a light tent as the bike is carrying the weight and the tent has the mattress pad and bag stored inside the tent roll so there are two less bulky items that need to be stored. I used to use a moderately expensive nylon bicycle tent, but it was uncomfortably hot most of the time.
@@jamesharvey44 I ordered the Toucan in July and camped in it 19 times across Canada and the US. I have NEVER slept that well in a tent, and rarely sleep that well in my bed at home. Zero regrets.
NatureHike Cloud Up 3 is a great, affordable tent that packs down very small. Those big, Lone Rider tents, with the bike garage, are very big and time consuming to set up. They take up an entire top box.
Trailers for bikes carry more, plus it can be used like a tent. But off the ground completely with room for food bags and much more to stay as long as you want. Plus it can be shaped like a boat, so your camping trip turns into a fishing trip to. But then to top it all off is it will lock where you want. And won't be hurt by wind going or coming. And it's not a big old house boat tear drop style camper. You can then convert it to a bycycle camper. And take it to the city streets, or the beach sand. And just pop up and have everything you need to not move for two days or more. Or lock it down right there and go bar hopping with no worries it won't still be there. In ending it works with any size tarp bigger then 6×8, so when your tent type trailers break, or wear out the tent. Your hole design isn't done being able to use when you just lost your job. And lost you apartment, and now on the street. One last big thing if you can find work in that city. You can break it down and put your bike inside and take right on a bus, train, and city bus too. Good luck staying dry and carrying your good time when searching for a new sun set, and rise. thelittledragon72@gmail.com
I’d have to give these bike attached tents some serious thought, just don’t know If I could sleep worrying that the bike could fall onto me at any time, even with a side stand puck. 🤔
I don’t remember the last time i saw a bike dig into the ground. Folk seem to manage park their bikes safely…but personally I am sceptical in general about these tents unless it is a workshop. For sleeping for me personally makes sense to keep the bike outside the tent! Also much prefer minimal setup with the bike. It’s the best!
So the choice is either a giant heavy bulky garage tent or a tiny bivi that needs to be attached to your bike. NO thanks. I have a regular tent that packs small, weighs little, sets up in two minutes, I can sit up comfortably in, has enough room for me and my gear, is easy to get in and out of, and has kept me warm and dry in a downpour. These specialized tents are more trouble than they are worth. The garage tent is definitely not for one person moto adventure touring. It is a Base Camp for group rides. where you are returning to the same location at the end of the day. The Bivi tents are less useful than a regular tent with little reason to choose them. The space/weight savings is minimal yet you give up so much to downgrade to them.
I already purchased Harley Davidson Tent looks great I be going on solo trip out west & up north and back home 6 to 8 months! On 07 PIAGGIO MP3 250Ie purchased used barn find restoring to brand new again!
Save money, just buy normal tents and it does the same thing. I've been camping with my bikes enough times. There is no need to spend 500 bucks on a "motorcycle tent". I feel like this is a quick money grab for new bikers. I would be kinda concern about my engine melting some of these tents because sometimes you gotta put up a tent quick because of the weather. Can't wait around for your engine to cool off. Besides I'm not trying to smell my exhaust either. But I will say if you are in cool weather environments and need some heat, can help.
I tend to agree. Most bike camping is a day or two here and there on mostly dry days. Most are not doing the TAT or Orient Trail. The Wingman is basically a bivvy shell, a pad, quilt and tarp. The advantage is it all rolls up into one roll...for quick setup and pack out. You can easily do that with a $40 backpacking budget tent. Leave your bedding in the tent. Fold it down. Roll the tent and poles with your tarp as roll cover. Same system but more room and lighter weight. Tent, bag, pad, tarp under $100
Half of these are just asking for your sidestand to sink or slip in a light overnight rainstorm and then seriously injure you when your bike falls on your face. Ridiculous
I guess I get the garage fly thing as it might detour theft! But I have a lock and a gun and training to fix that! The tents that attach to the bike wouldn't work for me as I like to set up camp and explore on the bike. So just like most things if you buy somthing that is just a little specialized for a sport it cost 3 times as much! Hit the REI and shop onsale for a standard light weight tent
@@HJZ75driver Of course! As an american I will take your comment as a complement to my self reliance and awareness of one's surroundings ! That said I can see an instance when laws or simple personal choice maybe fear, would dictate tying your tent to your bike in order to keep thieves at bay.
I have a three person REI with two vestibules, rain fly, and plenty of vents. It's a three season tent. I can get all my gear inside, at night in case of rain. It backs down into a cylinder shape that's about 10 inch diameter, and about a foot and half long. Around two pounds. AND.... it didn't cost an arm and a leg, like some of these "motorcycle tents". BTW, why does your narrator sound like a space alien ?
Misso and i have a lone rider tent for when we are doing a long haul or when we know we are staying in one place for a few days. Otherwise small 2 person hiking tents and hiking inflatable mats are our go to. If we have 2 bikes to pack we go bigger and more comfortable. If its just me or we are taking our baby bikes we rough it. We have found that tonnes of hiking gear fits the criteria of moto touring. Now. I need to restrain myself from buying any more of these tents 🤣
Had a wingman Goose. Bad baad stitching, zippers broke the very first time i set it up. Nightmare customs service ! So i sold it. Rather buy a quality swag from the Aussies, or some of the options in the vid. To bad i really liked the design. But to el cheapo China and the custom service : horibilis. - Stay Gold peeps. Rubber down.
If one of my tent walls can fall onto my head, crushing it, I would rather throw a tarp on it and have a quality tent, a less convenient 6 or 8 feet away.
Trailblazers...aspen classic trailer bike pull. Queed bed ..off ground..plenty storage ..basement..sets up in 3 minutes...dry...25 lb tongue weight.. Total 265 lbs... Did my research...under 5k / $
@Redrum Interstates are in America.. As I said, my husband drove across half of Canada on a motorcycle, meaning we are in Canada.. Canada is MUCH larger than the US, with only 10% of the population, so there are longggg gaps between some populated areas.
Fascinating? I thought this was quite common. It's exactly what those big Beemer GS's are made for, as well as Africa Twins, Triumph Tigers, the big KTMs, etc
@Spike Elwood well, if you're talking about the big Beemers, they're not crap. They won the Paris-Dakar a few times. They MAY be overpriced depending on where you live. And you can definitely overland on a much smaller bike. I did Germany to Egypt, right up to the Libyan border, and back, on a 650cc, and did a lot of S.E. Asia on a 125cc rental bike with a companion on the back, and all of our gear. Pretty sure there's an old coffee table photo book of a guy who circled the globe on a Vespa. Also the flying to India, buying an Enfield (350cc, I believe) and driving it back to England used to be a classic overland trip, common in those circles.
1. LOL ... nice for travelling with your family and a hanger on your bike 2. nice one 3. nice but too big for 1 person 4. perfect for minimalists. who needs more? 5. buy a car, a trailer or campervan if you need something like this :/ 6. nice but ppl can see imidiately who is in there when you sleep 7. good solution but too big and too expensive 8. good for overlanders and also space for small repairs on the bike when necessary, good price
Why would you need to cover your motorcycle? Can anyone explain? Only reason I can think of is the rare occasion of getting stuck having to camp ssomewhere that doesn't allow bikes.
Must See Tech - Wouldn’t a cover be a better option, then? It doesn’t hurt a motorcycle to get it wet. Just an odd concept to me to want a garage on a camping trip.
I camp numerous times a year, no desire for a bulky, heavy, taller tent weighing so much. Use a 5x7 lower dome and cover bike with $35 bike cover to protect electronics on my HD Ultra. Not to mention setup/take down faster & easier. Forgot fraction of cost.
I think only #4 Nomad actually got anything right. Why would you need to shelter an outdoor vehicle? And some of them are so massive when packed it's the size of my 40L backpack with all my gear in it. LOL! That said, a good 3x3m tarp will do fine. I'd be using the same tent (Flames Creed 1P) I use for my bicycle packing, so I don't need to own another tent.
#2 looks like a bicycle with an awning. Nice and to the point I like the MiniMate. Lots of storage and easy to tow. Getting a decent hitch isn’t trivial. Do your homework
If you want good advice on ultra light, ultra packable and dependable gear, ask a long time serious backpacker. What I learned by torturing myself backpacking in my youth still serves me well all these too many years later.
Nice production but had to laugh at one comment about shutting down the sound. Gotta admit the tune could get on ones nerves if allowed. I have a saying that if something can happen then it will happen unless you take the can out of it. I only saw one bike that had a tent attached to it, leaning away from the tent...... BAD..... unsafe. Could easily kill you and although probably for demo purposes, same thing on sand even if it did have a plate under the stand. I couldn't sleep knowing my A Twin was leaning above and towards me.
the tents with garage is no good for travvelig in areas wit storms and high winds ex at lake balaton in hungary. only low tunneltents and expeditiontents will do the job
never sleep next to your bike, if an animal or strong breeze comes along you will awake to 500 lbs of steel on top of you. Sleep infront of or behind your bike or far off on the side.
I don’t see how a tent the size of a house or being heavyweight is a motorcycle tent? Ridiculous. I use a 3.5 kg (3 man compact tent) and that is too big, unless I am 2 up.
Must See Tech I have a Kway hiking tent (to big & heavy for hiking). It is a South African tent that is waterproof, windproof & packs away quite compactly. Reasonably cheap (+/- $100) and excellent quality. I’ve seen similar ones in Australia (Kilimanjaro), USA & Canada at similar prices. Even good cheap ones at Walmart. The tent is very comfortable for 2 people plus riding gear & stretchers. Like a house when on my own, but great in bad weather. My tent is 3.5 kg, chair 1kg and stretcher (I like to sleep off the ground) also +/- 1kg (about 1.5 pounds). In total excluding clothes & food), my total load is about 10kg (that includes an extra groundsheet & tarp - they weigh nothing anyhow). And that is a lot of weight on the bike when 2 up. I do however enjoy having as much comfort as possible when bike camping. Thanks for asking
A motorcycle is not a reliable anchor point for a tent, especially if you're using the side stand and parked off of the tarmac. Don't sleep close enough to be hit if the bike falls.
@@MustSeeTech yes, that is what I was thinking but .....on a Brompton foldable? Weight, ...and convenience , - are the conditions. Unfortunately or otherwise, travel this year, is O U T. Maybe next year if I am still alive. Take care and all the best.
No need to put motorbike in tent! 1~2P tent + bike cover is much better option. Most tents you recommend are heavy, takeup large real estate and need longer time for install. For long distance rider or adventure riders, these tents are worst option, I think
I can't see any of those being worth owning. Most all are overly bulky and probably suck in bad weather, especially with some wind. This seems to be a niche one should avoid.
This is an advertisement and nothing more. First off, its flat out dangerous to lie on the kickstand side of your bike. Especially, in typical soft ground tenting areas. Next, internally routed fiberglas poles are a pain in the butt to setup once they start showing some wear. Move on... Nothing to see here.

Put a puck under the kickstand and tether the bike on the other side for added safety.

Thanks for sharing your experience and thoughts, Ashlee.
I tend to agree. Most bike camping is a day or two here and there on mostly dry days. Most are not doing the TAT or Orient Trail.
The Wingman is basically a bivvy shell, a pad, quilt and tarp. The advantage is it all rolls up into one roll...for quick setup and pack out. You can easily do that with a $40 backpacking budget tent.
Leave your bedding in the tent. Fold it down. Roll the tent and poles with your tarp as roll cover. Same system but more room and lighter weight. Tent, bag, pad, tarp under $100
Half of these are just asking for your sidestand to sink or slip in a light overnight rainstorm and then seriously injure you when your bike falls on your face. Ridiculous
If there only was a way to increase the surface ... like putting a board or a tile underneath it. That would be awesome.
A Crushed Soda Can under the kick stand, works well for my Heavy Harley!
I guess I get the garage fly thing as it might detour theft! But I have a lock and a gun and training to fix that!
The tents that attach to the bike wouldn't work for me as I like to set up camp and explore on the bike.
So just like most things if you buy somthing that is just a little specialized for a sport it cost 3 times as much!
Hit the REI and shop onsale for a standard light weight tent
Hi, Dave. Thanks for sharing. That would work too. REI is great platform to shop for camping gear.
You must be American Dave 🙄
@@HJZ75driver Of course! As an american I will take your comment as a complement to my self reliance and awareness of one's surroundings !
That said I can see an instance when laws or simple personal choice maybe fear, would dictate tying your tent to your bike in order to keep thieves at bay.
I have a three person REI with two vestibules, rain fly, and plenty of vents. It's a three season tent. I can get all my gear inside, at night in case of rain. It backs down into a cylinder shape that's about 10 inch diameter, and about a foot and half long. Around two pounds. AND.... it didn't cost an arm and a leg, like some of these "motorcycle tents". BTW, why does your narrator sound like a space alien ?
Thanks for sharing. REI do offer plenty of good tents/camping equipment.
They all serve the purpose. I guess it’s just a matter of personal circumstance.
Agree. Thanks for watching!
Misso and i have a lone rider tent for when we are doing a long haul or when we know we are staying in one place for a few days. Otherwise small 2 person hiking tents and hiking inflatable mats are our go to. If we have 2 bikes to pack we go bigger and more comfortable. If its just me or we are taking our baby bikes we rough it.
We have found that tonnes of hiking gear fits the criteria of moto touring.
Now. I need to restrain myself from buying any more of these tents 🤣
Waoo amazing
Well done! I just did a Solo camping trip and watched your video :) thanks
Of you're looking into a good size tent, light enough that will keep you dry look at the North Face Stormbreak 2. Love mine 😊👍
Had a wingman Goose. Bad baad stitching, zippers broke the very first time i set it up. Nightmare customs service ! So i sold it. Rather buy a quality swag from the Aussies, or some of the options in the vid. To bad i really liked the design. But to el cheapo China and the custom service : horibilis. - Stay Gold peeps. Rubber down.
If one of my tent walls can fall onto my head, crushing it, I would rather throw a tarp on it and have a quality tent, a less convenient 6 or 8 feet away.
Thank you for sharing this idea i got to get one of that thanks your new frienf from Palawan Philippines
You welcome. Thanks for watching!
You welcome. Thanks for watching!
Trailblazers...aspen classic trailer bike pull.
Queed bed ..off ground..plenty storage ..basement..sets up in 3 minutes...dry...25 lb tongue weight..
Total 265 lbs...
Did my research...under 5k / $
Thanks for the info, Ion. I will definitely check it out!
What bike is pictured for the Goose by Wingman tent? ,2:20
Triumph Scrambler
Fascinating.. Overlanding on a motorcycle :)
Would you like that?😉
@@MustSeeTech My husband drove across half of Canada on a motorcycle and said this would have been better than searching for a hotel every night lol
@Redrum Interstates are in America.. As I said, my husband drove across half of Canada on a motorcycle, meaning we are in Canada.. Canada is MUCH larger than the US, with only 10% of the population, so there are longggg gaps between some populated areas.
Fascinating? I thought this was quite common. It's exactly what those big Beemer GS's are made for, as well as Africa Twins, Triumph Tigers, the big KTMs, etc
@Spike Elwood well, if you're talking about the big Beemers, they're not crap. They won the Paris-Dakar a few times. They MAY be overpriced depending on where you live. And you can definitely overland on a much smaller bike.
I did Germany to Egypt, right up to the Libyan border, and back, on a 650cc, and did a lot of S.E. Asia on a 125cc rental bike with a companion on the back, and all of our gear.
Pretty sure there's an old coffee table photo book of a guy who circled the globe on a Vespa.
Also the flying to India, buying an Enfield (350cc, I believe) and driving it back to England used to be a classic overland trip, common in those circles.
abaut Number 5: IN Mexico you need a extra TAX, extra car permit and extra car plates to trasport any kind of trailer
Thanks for sharing. I didn't know that
what a memorable trip and adventure in the wild, good luck
I really like the 2nd one
👍
1. LOL ... nice for travelling with your family and a hanger on your bike
2. nice one
3. nice but too big for 1 person
4. perfect for minimalists. who needs more?
5. buy a car, a trailer or campervan if you need something like this :/
6. nice but ppl can see imidiately who is in there when you sleep
7. good solution but too big and too expensive
8. good for overlanders and also space for small repairs on the bike when necessary, good price
Thanks for sharing your thoughts! Appreciate the feedback
The ones that is 100% waterproof!!!
That is definitely a must for tent!
Nothing is absolutely 100%waterproof. And pulling a trailer with a motorcycle is not a safe practice at all.
Hi, Joe. The video is not about trailers🤨
What's it about then if the tent is attached to a trailer??
Why would you need to cover your motorcycle? Can anyone explain?
Only reason I can think of is the rare occasion of getting stuck having to camp ssomewhere that doesn't allow bikes.
Why would I need a garage for my motorcycle when I’m camping. That seems ridiculous.
Hmm. Want to protect it from the elements?
Must See Tech - Wouldn’t a cover be a better option, then? It doesn’t hurt a motorcycle to get it wet. Just an odd concept to me to want a garage on a camping trip.
@@MustSeeTech I guess it would be nice if you have to do some maintenance in foul weather.
I camp numerous times a year, no desire for a bulky, heavy, taller tent weighing so much. Use a 5x7 lower dome and cover bike with $35 bike cover to protect electronics on my HD Ultra. Not to mention setup/take down faster & easier. Forgot fraction of cost.
Theft is the only thing I could think of because I have seen it done
Really informational! Great content! We here at VikingBags really do enjoy your videos! Please keep up the good work!
Very nice
Hi, Denny! Thanks for watching!
I think only #4 Nomad actually got anything right. Why would you need to shelter an outdoor vehicle? And some of them are so massive when packed it's the size of my 40L backpack with all my gear in it. LOL!
That said, a good 3x3m tarp will do fine. I'd be using the same tent (Flames Creed 1P) I use for my bicycle packing, so I don't need to own another tent.
Thanks for sharing!
I’d get a bush craft tent and a regular tent and tie the bush craft one off over the bike
Good tents and good ideas to camping 👍✌
Thanks for the feedback, Mario
Buy a hammock and tarp instead 😀
#2 looks like a bicycle with an awning. Nice and to the point
I like the MiniMate. Lots of storage and easy to tow. Getting a decent hitch isn’t trivial. Do your homework
lonely rider tent wont do in windy areas like lake balaton and in the mountains and if you ride a bike which cant stand rain - get another bike
Hi, Peter. What tent would you choose for those conditions?
Can guarantee it will
I stop in hotels. Shower, bed, food.
Good for you. It is not camping though
Lame.
I liked the H.D. tent
Thanks for sharing!
Interesting video, great ideas.
Thanks for the feedback!
Im looking for something that you can set up in the rain without it becoming a bath tub. Do not want to spend a lot of money.
Always tent on the other side of the bike
If you want good advice on ultra light, ultra packable and dependable gear, ask a long time serious backpacker. What I learned by torturing myself backpacking in my youth still serves me well all these too many years later.
Nice production but had to laugh at one comment about shutting down the sound. Gotta admit the tune could get on ones nerves if allowed. I have a saying that if something can happen then it will happen unless you take the can out of it. I only saw one bike that had a tent attached to it, leaning away from the tent...... BAD..... unsafe. Could easily kill you and although probably for demo purposes, same thing on sand even if it did have a plate under the stand. I couldn't sleep knowing my A Twin was leaning above and towards me.
Riding an adventure bike ? Why would you need to put it in a shelter at night ? In case it rains and washes the dust off ?
😂
I like the goose but would use poles instead of the bike.
I feel like at $475.. You might be missing the point of a bivvy.. l0l. But I'm sure the quality is excellent.
Makes sense. Thanks for the feedback
The goose would of been a maybe if it was available when I was looking. I have the Abel Brown Nomad tent ⛺
Thanks for sharing, Cedric. How is it, btw?
@@MustSeeTech
It's not completely waterproof but it is compact
My 15 dollar tarp :/
the tents with garage is no good for travvelig in areas wit storms and high winds ex at lake balaton in hungary. only low tunneltents and expeditiontents will do the job
Hi, Peter. That makes sense. What tent do you camp with?
@@MustSeeTech fjællraven abisko
I'll Google it. Thanks!
never sleep next to your bike, if an animal or strong breeze comes along you will awake to 500 lbs of steel on top of you. Sleep infront of or behind your bike or far off on the side.
I don’t see how a tent the size of a house or being heavyweight is a motorcycle tent? Ridiculous. I use a 3.5 kg (3 man compact tent) and that is too big, unless I am 2 up.
What tent do you have?
Must See Tech I have a Kway hiking tent (to big & heavy for hiking). It is a South African tent that is waterproof, windproof & packs away quite compactly. Reasonably cheap (+/- $100) and excellent quality. I’ve seen similar ones in Australia (Kilimanjaro), USA & Canada at similar prices. Even good cheap ones at Walmart. The tent is very comfortable for 2 people plus riding gear & stretchers. Like a house when on my own, but great in bad weather. My tent is 3.5 kg, chair 1kg and stretcher (I like to sleep off the ground) also +/- 1kg (about 1.5 pounds). In total excluding clothes & food), my total load is about 10kg (that includes an extra groundsheet & tarp - they weigh nothing anyhow). And that is a lot of weight on the bike when 2 up. I do however enjoy having as much comfort as possible when bike camping. Thanks for asking
I'd like one that I could pull from a bicycle instead of a motorcycle.
Thanks for the suggestion
A motorcycle is not a reliable anchor point for a tent, especially if you're using the side stand and parked off of the tarmac. Don't sleep close enough to be hit if the bike falls.
great
Thanks for watching!
Super presentation!☺️👍⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐.#8 was the most appealing. But I am not a motorcyclist. Just a cyclist with an E-Bike
Hi, Carolle. Glad you enjoyed the video. I bet some these could be adapted to be used with a bicycle
@@MustSeeTech yes, that is what I was thinking but .....on a Brompton foldable? Weight, ...and convenience , - are the conditions. Unfortunately or otherwise, travel this year, is O U T. Maybe next year if I am still alive. Take care and all the best.
tent number one is no good in stormy weather
Enough for one rider and some geeeeer
22 pounds for something the size of a bivy sack...no thank you.
and make sure your bike is on solid ground or it is likely to fall on you during the night
What's the point of putting your bike in a tent???
No need to put motorbike in tent! 1~2P tent + bike cover is much better option. Most tents you recommend are heavy, takeup large real estate and need longer time for install. For long distance rider or adventure riders, these tents are worst option, I think
Bro the whole video can be summed up in 17 seconds
I am not sure I want to know that summary 😬
Its all good until your bikes goes over...
Use a tarp and 550 cord keep it simple rider's
my cheap bivy sack has more room inside that those strap to bike ones and I don't have to risk it falling on me.
Khyam igloo, no messing!.
I just can't listen to you my brain wil explode one of the most annoying sounds I've ever heard in my life
I just muted him and turned on the closed captions. Still a waste of my time, crap tents !!!
Basic cheap tent works just fine.
Prefer a lighter normal tent and tarp for less
Thanks for sharing!
I wanna hear him say "silly goose"
Why "silly goose"?
bring a tarp
Solid option as well
Sorry couldn't watch the video. 45 secs of the computer voice was enough. Bye.
Its his legit accent.
Can someone tell me, please, where is this accent come from?
From Satan
CRAIG F.T.W thanks 👍🏻
One loooong ad. The announcer's accent is so unusual that I struggle to understand him. Just me?
Ive watched a few of his videos do his accent doesnt bother me. I find it refreshing
Thanks, Jonathan
What genius put instructions with the tent to put the tent on the kickstand side of the bike? Gravity and rain are a bitch.
I can't see any of those being worth owning. Most all are overly bulky and probably suck in bad weather, especially with some wind. This seems to be a niche one should avoid.
Hi, Russell. What setup would you go for instead?
@@MustSeeTech Personally, I'd go with a good quality three season backpacking tent, sized for the needs of the trip.
If this is about the best tents for motorcyclists, why does your thumbnail show one of the worst and most impractical?
ill just stay in a hotel
You will miss out on the nature then
Let down by narative
Nomad is a death trap 🥴
???
@@MustSeeTech bike leaning in on the rider whilst sleeping 🥺
If you have to use stakes it ain't high tech !!!
Not a fan of tents beside the bike. Crushes you in the night if it falls over. My bike can be wet. I don't care
This is an advertisement and nothing more. First off, its flat out dangerous to lie on the kickstand side of your bike. Especially, in typical soft ground tenting areas. Next, internally routed fiberglas poles are a pain in the butt to setup once they start showing some wear. Move on... Nothing to see here.
Once more viewers must endure the Intrusive Distracting Frenetic Repetitive Pseudo-music and. robo voiced narrative. Good Bye.
Sorry you dislike the music. But I assure you that I narrated this video myself
Its actually his voice. I dig it
