Thanks for positive replies. As for others maybe you should lighten up a bit? I can't believe why people bother posting if all they can do is critisise. I thought this would be a fun place to join but having read a lot of the posts it seems a lot of people are up their own arses
So its not just me then?
Youve got to not mind getting wet mate! No matter how much you spend on a tent you will get wet if it rains.
Personally i love it, although the wife would sooner be in a b&b. As others have said, gives you a bit more freedom

Update!
Just bought gear and tried it at the weekend. Really enjoyed it.
The trouble is we couldn't fit the bbq on the bike. Can you get one of those trailers for the GS like they tow behind Goldwings?

Do you really want to sleep under canvas after riding in the rain all day? Give me a nice B&B or even walkers hostel any day

Would you puncture a tyre on every ride just so that you can use a repair kit? I trust not.
Same applies to camping gear, you don't have to use it if the prevailing conditions don't suit you.

I've only camped twice in my life and hated it - I like my creature comforts, especially on holiday (nice comfy bed, the wife to snuggle up to, a nice cooked breakfast without cooking it myself or finding the nearest cafe/supermarket)
Hell, we even try to avoid Travelodges as their beds are rubbish - much rather pay an extra tenner for a Premier Inn when booking a cheap room online
There's something about camping that makes you feel that bit more 'alive' than hotels and B&Bs.
If you want a barbecue for bike touring, you'd better check out these beauties, designed by a biker and crafted in stainless steel - http://www.ukgser.com/forums/showthread.php?t=234395

Or just spend £1.99 on a disposable one from the nearest petrol station/supermarket
And stands to keep them off the grass are pretty cheap
Good on you
like they said, you won't know till you tyr it. Yes you can even get a sidecar for it. but think about the traffic jams??? Imagine what it will look like once its been blackened by heat and covered in sausage fat......Yuk!

These have go to be the best idea. I hate BBQ's personally, but these work well, are cheep and when your done go straigt in the bin.
We did the camping thing for three years and 5 tents. We bought various types; cheep, expensive, big, little, light and heavy and used them both in the UK and Europe. We finally decided it wasn't for us and bought a camper. The bikes now follow behind in the trailer. We are still on the camping field, can stop where we want (some times cheeper than camping) don't need to plan the trip and don't need to spend time setting up and breaking camp. Warm and comfy at night too
If camping is your thing, you will love it. If it's not. There are other ways round it.
