Yes happened to me. I just left it off - who cares? No biggy.

Get a silk sleeping bag liner, tiny in size as does add a little warmth, Also good the keep the sleeping bag clean. Thermals don't take up much room and some merino thermals can keep you pretty warm where as too much thick cloths makes you sweat and then makes you cold... You wont get much sleep if its too cold and riding tired isn't the best. Plenty of DOC campsites accessible with the GN around the country side.... There is a file online somewhere you can open in google earth, I have it somewhere and will email it if I find it, basic sites are free, small charge for others Let the adventures continue
this has four bolts to undo till forward and ride bike off. I suppose it would be alright for trips throw a mesh on it so can put bags and maybe tent for camping . but its my first try at this type of idea and wanted to know how they feel and work before spending anymore time on it . the thing is i,d like to design it to feel lighter and with three wheel steer as it does fight with rear wheel in the middle . lean and steer system sounds simple !!!!!!! . safe riding guys .
Add luggage to it and make it easily detachable and you've got an excellent vehicle for travelling.
That article is really inspiring, is there a group like that in NZ?

Oh no, you had to say that

That sleeping bag might not warm enough, but if you have a backyard just try it out. Don't worry. Not intending on going to bed naked...

Hopefully not what you usually get in campgrounds. wonder if can get metal ones?

Most of that you should be able to use whether you're camping or not - sleeping bag saves on linen etc. I'm using a 30 year old one I inherited, so not sure how it "rates". Putting up the tent shouldn't be a problem, getting the pegs in was for me but I'm going to have a go at making sharper tips on mine and take a largish rubber mallet with me next time just in case. how did you put the pegs in?
