MOTORCYCLE CAMPING MADE EASY, a new book to let you go farther on your travel budget
North Conway, July 2002—Folks who camp on their motorcycle trips often won't have it any other way, knowing that on the open road, the benefits of pitching a tent are innumerable, and the experiences almost always memorable, whether they are enjoying the camaraderie of like-minded rally-goers, or basking in the remote solitude of a site well off the beaten path. Not only that, camping can considerably stretch one's travel budget into something worthy of a vacation. MOTORCYCLE CAMPING MADE EASY has everything you need to know to get started right, but riders with more experience are sure to learn valuable tips and tricks to enhance their trips as well.
With the wide choice of high-quality outdoor products available today, camping by motorcycle has never been easier. But it isn't just a matter of knowing what high-tech equipment to buy. This book is loaded with practical tips to help you enjoy the whole experience, covering issues such as assessing your current bike for space and load-carrying capacity, finding motorcycle-friendly campgrounds and rallies, planning and packing for your trip, dealing with "critters" at camp, preparing meals on wheels, mastering traditional camp skills like building a campfire, and even caring for your equipment after you return home.
In keeping with the simple philosophy behind camping, author Bob Woofter will tell you how to make the most of the gear you may already have on hand. When you are ready to go shopping however, you will have the detailed information you need to evaluate luggage, gear, clothing, and even trailers. An extensive resource directory of dozens of equipment suppliers will help to orient you in the overwhelming sea of information available today.
Woofter is a life-long camper who began camping by motorcycle just a few years ago. When he tried to apply what he already knew to motorcycling, he discovered that he had to look at things from a completely new perspective. He has distilled his experiences, as well as those of many other seasoned motorcycle campers, to help newcomers make the transition smoothly and painlessly. If motorcycling is all about the freedom of the open road, it's easy to see why so many savvy travelers include camping as part of their road trips.
