Sounds like you're contagious C.

I'm sure it has something to do with my sparkling personality G.    :o

I prefer this tent...

Hampton

Lately I've been doing the Hyatt tents over the Hamptons and Marriotts



I enjoy the simplistic elegance lately over the bling colors

Here is my review on this tent. 10+

It is perfect for myself and my gear. This is not a two man tent in my book. One man, one woman, well ok that is doable. It is nice to have your bike inside with all of your gear and a place to hang stuff.

It probably isn't a necessity, but every motorcycle rider in the campgrounds I was in wanted one. I am glad I spent the extra $$$'s for it.

Wow that looks nice. Curious, how long does it take to set that tent up?

15-20 minutes on a calm day with no rain.

Coastal winds in the evening, 45-60 :censored: minutes.  >:(

I did ;D  The link had sevral demos, one in particular was in some really nasty stuff.  He started on the small end, staked the six main stakes, inserted the poles from small to big and finsihed the last 2 on the big vestibule.

Sounds like the tip is filled with adventure  :) :)
