cumberland gap trip - Manhick_imp - 06-19-2015 The stars aligned and my wife and I had two days off at the same time. So we took the cb Thursday night and camped until Saturday morning. I was surprised we fit all we needed into a gi backpack, especially the way my wife likes to pack haha. Not a real long drive about 110 miles round trip, but conquered a bunch of firsts. Was our First two up trip (extended), first ride in the rain, and first motorcycle camping trip. We had a blast and can't wait until we do another one. I will try and post a few pics (sorry didn't take a whole lot) [/img] [/img] cumberland gap trip - Elipten_imp - 06-19-2015 No rack on the bike I see and two up. I gots to see photos to believe it.

The bag is pretty long loosened it and it rested on the crome light peice. Just have a wife that was willing to wear the pack. Probably not the safest set up but it's temporary. I guess your only poor and young once haha. RE: cumberland gap trip - Pterodactyl_imp - 06-19-2015 Well done mate. Nothing like camping via motorcycle, especially something as basic as a CB. Makes you prioritise and, somehow, doubles the fun. Unfortunately I can't persuade Darling to join me. For her, camping under the stars means under 5 stars. Please post post photos of your camp - I'm curious. See one of mine below Cheers, and happy camping. RE: cumberland gap trip - the Ferret - 06-19-2015 Wow I'd say your wife deserves a trooper of the year award for wearing that pack on her back lol. My wife and I once rode our 750 Nighthawk down the Natchez Trace from Tennessee to Mississippi and she wore a back pack as it was a totally naked bike and she told me in no uncertain terms she would never do that again lol. cumberland gap trip - Elipten_imp - 06-19-2015 Young, poor and in love! Enjoy those days they don't last forever! Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk RE: cumberland gap trip - Cormanus - 06-19-2015 Good one Manhick and Mrs Manhick. Look forward to more reports. RE: cumberland gap trip - redbirds_imp - 06-19-2015 Your wife sounds like a real keeper. Motorcycle camping is one of life's best pleasures and doing it the minimalist way adds to the experience. RE: cumberland gap trip - HikerToo_imp - 06-19-2015 also check out some backpacking/hiker sites for lightweight portable camping gear. and I guess a tank bag and possibly saddle bags if they still allow a passenger would help. some of my best memories were while camping..... RE: cumberland gap trip - noroomtomove - 08-14-2015 Just goes to show you don't need a kitchen sink. If you can't fit it in one backpack do you need it when traveling?
