The joy of bike camping

One of the things that I love to do is camp while on a multi day, multi state motorcycle trip. In fact, my husband and I rode our two motorcycles from MD on a 14 state 21 day trip that included sturgis and the dragon for our honeymoon. During that trip we spent 9 days camping during the sturgis motorcycle rally at the broken spoke camp ground.

This was when I still had my 2008 Harley Sporster 883 Custom which I put 4700 miles on in that trip. But anyhow people ask me a lot about camping off of a bike and how the heck we fit everything. 

One thing I created on Pintrest was a list of my favorite bike camping gear.  You can check it out by clicking on this link Pintrest board Glamping / motorcycle camping stuff I use and few things I want.

One of the camping gear pieces you will see on the pintrest board is the REI Kingdome 8. YES we take that on our bikes. This summer we decide to get this macdaddy of all tents. With the tent we got the garage addition. All told it is 190 plus of covered area and over 100 square feet inside the two room tent. The peak height is over 6 feet. There is NOTHING that is roughing it in this tent. When we go back to sturgis in two years you can look for this tent and find two bikers living in luxury while living it up at the rally. But if you have every been interested in camping in comfort off of a motorcycle check out my pintrest board for ideas on how.
