Ok. We all need one of these NOW.

A very cool adventure motorcycle tent.

Looks like about $400 USD though.

Linked via www.uncrate.com go visit, it is just a tech, gadget, type site.

Do you have to own a Big Monstrous Workhorse to have one of these tents? Looking at the gallery on the website - what happened on image 8, is he going to get help cos of a broken down
Big Monstrous Workhorse?

Good looking tent though - reckon would fit in well on a supported ride (ie support vehicle carries the bally thing for you!)

Be pretty bad if it fell in the night

I am not 100% sure if I need to sleep with my bike quite that much, but good to see they at least still put the stinky boots outside.

I think that maybe goin a bit far? I mean, fancy stubbing ur toe/knee/whatever on that thing, during a compulsory midnite bladder run?

Even if you didn't put you bike in there. Just having decent room for gear and getting changed etc would be great.

notice the big beemers in side them.... shit load more room than the DR, good luck carring all that.

a pup tent and a 6x4 tarp would serve the same for an inkling of the price and size

love it. I always used to try and cover my bike somehow on long tours and woud d chain it to something too - covered up next to me at night would mean I woudl be happier leaving stuff on it etc. But reckon a local tent could be adapted to do same thing.

$600NZ at todays rates.

I can only guess that they use BMW's in their pics to show even the fattest bike will fit in there.

Nah, you'll be right bro, you got a Suzuki, it's only those BMW's that need to be kept dry otherwise they go kaput.

I love the way dino keeps bringing me down to earth everytime I start talking about something like this. Him and his completely sane and reasonable cheap alternatives, fun spoiling bastard LOL - not that I can afford most of what I see.

One of the times that tent would be great is the winter stays when there is a frost or snow the next morning, keeping that shit off the bike is all good.

I've just got an old tent fly I tie over my bike if I can really be bothered. I think I'd prefer that to sleeping in the same room as my bike anyway.

As another cheap, sane alternative - I made a large bag out of coated ripstop nylon that we put all our gear into while camping.
Obviously the bikes still have to sleep outside, but it means that helmets, jackets etc stay dry and insect-free (important in Australia), without having them clogging up the entrance to Clint's small tent.
