I like it!!!! The spces say "sleeps 3" so I wonder if the 3rd person is the bike?!?!

I looked at those a while ago. I like that large vestibule space - but there's no way I'd be parking my bike in there. There's a reason I park my bike 6ft or more from my tent... if it topples during the night it's not going to land on top of me.

Still, the vestibule is good... but... the tent is heavy, more than twice the weight of my current tent, which has more sleeping space... and it's only single layer (no fly) so I don't know how well it works for condensation and water resistance.

I like the name though!

Don't know a lot about riding a motorcycle (yet) but, I know tents. Own 12 different ones from over the years. Don't need them. Just can't part with them. If you study tent designs and have experience with them, You will find each type has pros and cons. It has been my experience from owning and using the single wall types that when camping in humid winter conditions (such as, the N. Georgia mountains), you find that condensation inside the nylon or polyester types is a real problem. It does not apply to canvas but, weight and mildew is a problem. IMO, canvas would not seem practical for motorcycle travel. If you want a superior tent along with the size parameters of that good looking garage tent, the infamous Eureka Equinox is an excellent choice. Been around a long time. Couldn't put your bike in it though.

Also, thinking about it, You could not fold the poles on the Equinox small enough to be practical for motorcycling so, IMO, scratch that idea.

Man, you're right TABASCO! Fascinating design for a tent. ;D

Cute idea. Too short for grown-up to stand in (only 76 inches!), Too expensive, too heavy and as was mentioned doubtful condensation/waterproofing isses.
