Westbeef Posted June 18, 2016 Share Posted June 18, 2016 Just had a test run of setting up the tent. Not too bad to put up (eventually )http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20160618/c71711ebec68e3a564b62242509de6d9.jpgSent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Westbeef Posted June 18, 2016 Share Posted June 18, 2016 It goes quite small I'm hoping it'll go on the bike on ok. It's 650mm long and my bike is 750mm wide over mirrors should be ok Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OhJay Posted June 21, 2016 Share Posted June 21, 2016 You amateurs know nothing about loading up a bike properly:Forum rally 2014 And heading to a rally earlier this year: I only look like this:as I've got a pillion for most of the rallies we do now. Will be coming by car so I have the luxury of having room for an airbed in my tent this year You're just worried I'd throw that 125 in the river if you came on it again, aren't you? Naaaah, that'd spoil the surprise for you and all the other first-timers Think I've finally decided on my costume for this year. Just need to work on my singing. And my lipstick Oh crap, do I need to start learning another duet or is the one we didn't manage last year going to work just as well?On a serious note, anyone coming in a car prepared to do some driving on the Saturday during the ride out? Brax's mum, brother and uncle are coming in his uncle's car and hoping to scatter his ashes somewhere round the rideout route but uncle wants to come on the ride out on the back of me so can someone drive mum and brother to where/when we're meeting up to do the scattering please?

Tiggie Posted June 21, 2016 Share Posted June 21, 2016 You're just worried I'd throw that 125 in the river if you came on it again, aren't you? Yep that bike is staying in my garage until I get round to cleaning it up and selling it on to fund license/big bike. Surely you would rather throw a nice chinese bike in the river instead?

Oasis Posted June 30, 2016 Share Posted June 30, 2016 Stu, will this be to big for the campsite. Not had it up (the tent) since Glastonbury festival in 2012 but it seems ok.http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20160612/dafc917499a84a4de9f2e2122af3cb46.jpgSent from my SM-G930F using TapatalkTook the tent on a weekend camping trip in the lakes. Fitted on the bike with no problems. Was a great back rest.http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20160630/c8465e93d1444bae5b4f1aef5b53bb03.jpgBut it took me an hour to set it up while being eaten alive by midges.So I'm on the hunt for a small, quick to set up tent which that can ventilate hangover farts well.Sent from my SM-G930F using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
