Motorcycle Camping & Road Trips 

 If you are like most of us, camping has been either be a really great experience or a really miserable one. The key to preventing your trip from being a miserable one is preparedness. I know this sounds "nerdy" but it is true. We all spend a lot of time keeping our bikes in tip top shape, making sure everything is right for a trip, yet we just throw some gear on the bike with little thought being put into what we are taking. You truly do get what you pay for.

 Sure, you need a sleeping bag and a tent or place to sleep, but there are a lot of choices that can make your trip a pleasant one. You never know when "Mother Nature" or life in general is going to hit you with unexpected circumstances. Having good quality gear that can handle extreme conditions makes those mishaps less of an impact on your trip. 

 The whole purpose of a road trip is to get away from the day to day grind and enjoy yourself. Your bike is a tool to make that happen while you are riding and your gear is the tool for when you are not riding. If your gear sucks, you can rest assured your trip will suck too. Let's face it, a great day's ride is completely offset if you can't sleep good at night and are hungry. 

The RIGHT GEAR will help you avoid those miserable trips and take home some great memories and stories.

What is better than taking a long ride on some really great roads, stopping to enjoy the sights & scenery, and winding up the day relaxing by a rolling river or stream with your friends and/or family? A comfortable shelter, whether a hammock or tent, a chair or hammock to kick back in and just relax, a compact & simple method of preparing a good meal or a pot of coffee, and a simple means of getting cleaned up. Those are the basics, and we can provide you with the gear and knowledge to repeatedly have great experiences while on the road. 

Just a few things you should consider when planning a road trip on your bike.

How cold is it going to be?

What is the weather forecast?

Will there be food where you are going or will you need to cook?

Will there be restroom facilities?
