borgy95 Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 (edited) its the whole having to buy a tent n stuff. I know u can get them cheap but the more i could put towards petrol the better. As odd as it may sound... i've put a three man in the back of megawatts car... you're quite welcome to bum a spot in the tent.Personally i've had odder arrangements with random people i have just met before, so as long as you're comfortable with it, i'm comfortable with it. i was a student myself not so long ago, i rmbr the dilemmas of being skint as F*** and funding shit on the bare minimum.my condition: no accidental spooning, no matter how much booze you have drunk! OR EDIT: having said all this you may want to consider harrydh3 offer: i have a spare 4 man i can bring too if anyone needs Edited July 12, 2012 by borgy95 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
techno Posted July 12, 2012 Share Posted July 12, 2012 I think he may not have worried about accidental spooning but may have worried about your offer to " bum a spot " Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Donnie Brasco Posted July 12, 2012 Share Posted July 12, 2012 I was just trying to organize all my gear,sleeping bag shall be strapped to the pillion seat,no problem there.my tent however will be strapped to the rucksack,its going to stick out by about 8inches on either side. I just wanted to clarify whether it is legal to carry load wider than your motorcycle?If so then all I gotta remind myself of is the fact that I'm slightly wider when filtering.lolCheersJames Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
