Can you suggest a tent for moto touring?

[FJRider]

or a 2nd tarp to wrap the not water proof sleeping bag? (less money on unneccesary stuff means more gas money for the bike, so poor mans solutions haha)

Just pick up a chick and go back to her place/tent.

I'd need to wipe the ugly off my face then, that's too much effort.

Carry two paper bags ... one for you. One for her.

The swearhouse has several at bargain prices. I've got a couple and have never had any problems with them.

Likewise - go for the so-called 'three-man' dome model with a 'vestibule', it gives you tons of space for two people and gear.

And take a section of thick-walled polythene sheet to use as a floor in the vestibule, that way when it's wet you can leave gear outside the tent itself.

Dedgeing up an older thread here, but what have others found to be the best sleeping mat? I'm not going to bother with the thin roll up rubber mat again. I'd like a inflatable mat, but dont want too much bulk.

And before the smart arse's start in,, too easy to roll off blow up Barbie, and the blow up sheep doesn't leave enuf headroom.

thermarest, though american, are good value. their trail lie and guide lite series fold up real small.

Pack a trowel and just turn a bit of soil where you plan on sleeping. Or rope in a local stray dog to do the digging. If theres a beach near by use sand as a soft surface. Or just do what I did, use a tarp.

I have one like this, works fine. I still dig a wee hollow for my hip if I can though. Its one of those self inflating jobbys.

i use an airbed, takes up less space than a mat and a damned site more comfy, i normally have a sheepskin on my seat which i use on top of the airbed and im as warm as toast.

Reckon you could take a hose instead of a pump and just link the exhaust to the air bed. Warm bed lol
