i just found one a few weeks ago. garmin streetpilot i3. moron who bought it put alkaline batteries in and tried to charge it (boom) and when they couldn't get the exploded husks out they relied solely on the car charger...or they did until they managed to break the negative post out of that. had it working fine in under five minutes. i love when idiots abandon good equipment

thing is tiny, operated via 2 buttons and a whizwheel (glove friendly) and can take AAs. gonna be perfect for when i get a more wandering oriented bike in the sometime future

I have, but the thing about the dedicated hamok tents is that they close fully keeping out any bugs

Did maneuvers with Cav back in the day... Tent/hammock was the bomb in the woods. They used to sell them cheap at surplus joints...

I like the idea, but what if you want to camp on the beach, an open expanse of rock, or anywhere else that doesn't have trees or posts? Where do you put all your gear? Seems more appropriate for hiking than motorcycling.

I'm digging this, but not the $400 price tag:

The Ténéré Expedition Tent™

This one is probably lower quality, but I actually prefer the design, and it's half the price:

The Biker Tent™

I like the idea of sheltering the motorcycle, too. I used to wheel my bike into motel rooms whenever possible.
