Moto Camping

Alpha Reign · 05-04-2019, 01:24 PM

How many of you guys go camping on your motorcycle. Today I went out to setup and look over my gear. Can't wait until I start camping again. I can finally do it since my last day of school was yesterday!

Never went camping off the China bike but have camped for months on other bikes from a Vespa to a Goldwing. I love touring, especially on a small bike.

Go west!

I would love to visit out west! I always hear how pretty it is. I am planning on doing the Trans America Trail next summer. I'm excited for that trip.

I did it twice with my last Hawk. Two back roads road trips to State parks with ORV/OHV trails and camp grounds. It was quite fun. I went very minimal and only stayed for 1 night, so I didn't pack a ton of stuff. I would like to do so again and make a long weekend of it.

Sometimes I’m loaded for bear.

Sometimes, I am the Bare.

Out in these parts, that statement means something completely different when going camping

No way I could do that out here unless I wanted to be some hungry animals next meal

, mountain lions, cougars, several species of bear, fox, wolves, even a few crazy "hybrid" animals no one has really seen (a white/silver "fox" the size of a giant wolf... that is jacked up on steroids)

Would have a blast doing those kinds of things, if I lived in the area for it

so I will stick to those all day rides and be home when the sun goes down

more chances someone will notice when I get dragged off into the bushes by a hungry animal

Heading out in 11 more days but with one less bike in tow.

Nice man, enjoy your trip!

I've only day tripped on the dirt bikes but Mrs. 2LZ and I used to bike camp semi-regularly on the big bikes. The Lassen area used to be one of our favorite areas to make a base camp and do day rides out of there.
