Ah the day of bike rallies, get all the gear stowed, get the tent strapped to the bike, now where is the ignition key? Oh yes in that little pocket in the back of the tent!!!!!! (for safe keeping of course)
Many a sodding time!
Dome tents fly well, at one rally we had decided the tent had finally seen it's last days and no longer could we tape little chef cutlery to broken poles and gaffer tape over the splits in the flysheet so on sunday morning we cleared our stuff out, pulled the pegs and tied one guy rope to the sissy bar on my bike, rode round to the remains of the bonfire while the tent floated geacefully behind me and it just landed gently slap bang in the middle of the fire, untied guy rope and rode back to the pile of gear we were taking home.
Then went tent shopping.....
