Motorcycle camping

I rode my 1984 Honda VT500 from Phoenix,AZ to CT via Florida back in 1994. Great ride on as little highway as I could find, mostly 2 laners the whole way home. Great camping machine, shaft drive, smooth ride, loved that standard! Seeing as I had 5 bikes at the time, I loaned that particular bike out to a friend who owned a very large sailboat. Said friend took a trip down to Cubba, where he promptly trade my VT500 for a boatload of cigars. When he returned and told me a guy offered him all those cigars in trade for the bike, he (wrongly!!) figured he could sell half the cigars and buy me another VT500. Man, the cojones of some people!! Of course being a classic rare bike there was no way he was going to find me another in mint condition!! He ended up giving me $10k for the VT500, but I never spoke to him again after that, nor loaned out another bike for more than a day ride...Got off bikes when the roads got loaded with uneducated and un-insured drivers and to think it's even worse now!! Ride safe brothers..

My other bike that I picked up last spring is an '05 Ural Tourist sidecar rig - talk about low tech! This rig is great fun and I can take it well off the beaten path onto the fire roads and jeep trails and such. I'm looking forward to trying it in snow! This will make a great moto-camping rig too.

A hacked Ural is one of my (many) dream bikes.:thumbup: I'd be awesome to hit some trails 3up (me, my girlfriend and my dog)!
