A lightweight two man tent n sleeping bag should go in a back pack, if that helps!! You got throwovers ? Its not rocket science. However if you have got real problems give me a shout as i have spares n i live 5 mins from Squires.
I don't have any luggage capacity on my bike and most the bags require pillion pegs which I have removed. Logistics mean I may bring a car, and miss the ride outs. Which would have been nice.
You will be amazed at how much you can get on a motor bike Luke i have a fireblade and have no problem getting camping gear on as do other, it should be easy to get it on yours
Luked What bike do you have I cant think of any bike that you could not carry a small amount of camping gear if your traveling alone. Even 2 up I carryed all the stuff for a weeks camping in Devon on a Kawasaki 200 it was back in the 80s camping gear packs a hell of a lot smaller now
Luked my first rally was last years KISS and you will be amazed at what you can strap to your bike LOL. I had a Pilly, camping gear and gear for 2 people on my Bike LOL. A lot of 2 man tents are nice and small now days, or if there is a Halfords near by you can always book a cheap tent online or just pop in pick one up and just bin it after as tents are nice and cheap ;) cheaper then a hotel or B&B lol.
EVENT INFO =========== BikerMatch is proud to present the FIFTH edition of our annual Keep It Simple Stupid (K.I.S.S) rally. With over 500 visitors last year we're hoping the 2015 edition will be just as crazy and successful. Based
on the idea of going back to basics, enjoying each others' company,
riding out on the bikes, having a dance and socialising with members you
may often only meet online. Our rally is absolutely a FAMILY-FRIENDLY event. That means you're welcome to bring the kids and come in a car, no problem.
Don't forget that we will be at a NEW LOCATION this year! Check the "MAP" tab for directions.
As always the event will contain lots of silly games, surprises and laughter. Music entertainment will be in the form of 2 bands plus a weekend DJ. Don't miss our surprise comedy dance competition -)
