    I'm not likely to post an entry in this one, I have only Moto Camped once and can't find the pics I did take. But looking back in the archives I found a ton of documentation of the fantastic people I have met as a result of this pastime and in particular this forum.

    Life is a balancing act, enjoy every day, "later" will come sooner than you think. Denying yourself joy now betting you will have health and money to enjoy life later is a bad bet.

        No camping pictures of me and the motel ones aren't as fitting for this. Next time

          That's a fine theme, Sandy. And congrats on the win. Your pic last week was superb! My wife and I have taken the GS on a couple of picnics but I didn't get many photos of the occasion. I tend to take more pics when I'm alone I guess, and I have yet to get out on a camping trip with a bike.

          If I get the GS back on the road this week maybe we'll do a picnic and grab a few photos. Until then, and so you're not left hanging, here's the KLR at a campground.

            No camping shots here either.. I've yet to moto camp.

            And just throwing this out to the group...
            Seeing as how the concensus is that we want to lean toward quality imagery over random themes, I wouldn't have a problem revisiting the better topics already used when the weather breaks in a few months....

              Guys, we're off to a really slow start. Want me to pick something less specific? It's OK by me.

                As close as I have been to motorcyclke camping was one occasion (my first Brown County, 2005), trailered the bike, and wife and I camped in mini van with seats removed. Did get a mundane picture of bike & trailer & van at Brown County State Park campground. Will be a print in a shoebox in basement, that is not worth the bother to find.

                Here is something of an alternative pic,
                not too interesting photographically, but is what I have.
                Motel campers, August 2013, at a motel some folks here will recognize.....

                Story:
                Fathers Day 2013, my son hand me what looked like tickets to something, before I could see much of what they were, then he grabs them back from me and say "Tickets to Indy MotoGP including riding a track lapp, you can have them under one condition, you have to take a couple extra days and lead me around this southern Indiana you have been telling me about for the last 6-7 years."
                So we did.
                Picture of me, my son and daughter-in-law at Rosemount Motel, Bedford Indiana..
                (and he has attended the Brown County rally three times since then.)

                            I tried motorcycle camping once. That was when I had the ants in the helmet incident. If I had a picture or video of that, not only would I win Picture of the week, but also $10,000 on the Funniest Home Video tv show!

                                And some of us used to camp...(But no longer consider it an option)

                                This my wife, standing in front of our tent and Sportster, back in the early 90s.
                                One of only two pictures I could find with both a tent, and a bike.

                                So more of a historical photo, of really fun times. But, not an artistic photo at all...
