The famous VIRAL biker tent - Is it any good? 

Excellent review, Saffy. It’s always very helpful to be able to watch a full demonstration video of a tent along with its pros and cons when considering which tent to purchase next. Many thanks for sharing your video 😊👍

Thanks Saffy, I’ve been looking at these tents for ages. Really appreciate the video. You are a Star!!

Great little insight to a great light tent, tho at 63 yrs young, I do like my comforts whilst travelling on my bike these days 😂

Thank you saffy for the video, I was thinking of getting one but definitely will now 🙂

Love it. Learnt a new word...helicoptery. Long may you reign, Saffy. Have a great summer.

Good review. Love the exact description how to set it up. Lots of Love G

Well done Saffy going to look at this tent now !!

Great demo on the tent! The fact that you actually use it adds a level of credibility. That hip pack you use is bad ass too I need to find one looks like a great spot to carry bank cards and maps or whatever you need handy. Also you have a Palm tree in your backyard! Nice.

Bet you had a flashback from your adventure last year when you crawled back into the tent and also that you suddenly realized that there has to be another one very soon. Great tent with lots of great features and a great review from you who has really tried it in real life (the proof of the pudding is in the eating). A bit small for me I think. I mean drying out gear after riding in the rain for a whole day and still raining at camp. And also when staying more than one night in one place. I intend to try a somewhat cheap tipi tent on a 6-8 week summer trip in my country (Norway) this summer on my cruiser bike (mostly wild camping, maybe seek "emergency shelter" indoors in really stormy weather). And guess what: It has only one single pole, or even none if you can hang the top in a rope from a tree. I even have a small titanium wood stove for the tent and the tent has a stove jack for the stove's chimney. Not sure if I will take the stove with me even if it weighs less than 1 kg. It would have been nice for drying out wet gear, so maybe.

Thanks for the video saffy, just so you are aware the helicopter poles as you call them are supposed to sit on the top 😊 gives you a little more room inside and stops the plastic mounts from breaking 😊

Great video Saffy I'm now looking forward to your next adventure, IOM in the pipeline maybe

I have a one person mummy tent. It works well enough. Also just noticed your Scottish flag on the bike. Funny I also have the Scottish flag on one of my panniers (the Red Cross of St. George on the other)...that is my heritage. I love motorcycle camping; have a '72 Triumph Tiger (one kick!). Great to see more ladies getting into motorcycling...and why not. Thanks for the video.

Now that is one lovely lush lawn

Lovely stuff. Cheers!

Hi Saffy very good informative video you have made and if possible can you do a video on different types of Tents with all safety equipments etc

When Saffy Sprocket says that you can not go wrong ..WELL THAT IS A GUARANTEE..of DOABILITY .❤❤❤💯 💟💟🙏🙏🐼

Great video Saffy That is the nicer of the two LoneRider tents, the other one has had too many issues with the doorway and being ripped by the wind etc... Cost wise though, it is a ridiculous price for what it is, and that goes for the other tent as well, I have 6 tents, all for different purposes mind you, and I use to sell tents such as Terra Nova, TNF, Vango, Berghaus etc for expeditions, so I like to think I know what I am talking about when it comes to tents. Great tent for touring on a motorbikes, the Vango Mirage Pro 200, as it is free standing, 3x poles, it all goes up in one go if you have the inner already connected to the outer sheet, and throw on a Vango Gear Store on the front and it has massive room, like for like and similar to the Vango Galaxy 300 which has become a motorcyclist favourite go to for a tent on a good price and great quality, as you can stand up in the front porch to change gear etc. As a motorcyclist you are not required to have a triangle in Europe, this is only for cars, you are only required to have a hi-vis

Thanks for the review Saffy, I'm looking for good tent for the nc500 next year, looks perfect and a reasonable size 👍

You put it away wet three months ago and it’s not absolutely ruined with mould that’s miracle never put tents away wet always dry the ten

Evening Ms Sprocket. Cleaning MC gear seems to be a theme in your last few vids. Getting ready for a summer adventure are we by any chance? My uncle gave me an old army tent back in the day. No ground sheet! Everything got wet, bottoms included🤣🤣🤣. Now I'm almost 70 years young, a hotel is my choice, even if I do end up sleeping on the floor 🤷‍♂️. Safe enjoyable riding till next time girl 👍😊.

Great video Saffy :)

Great review Saffy 😊 It definitely got put through it's paces on your Euro trip. Inner pitch first tents are usually roomier inside and far less noisy in the wind, I think it out weighs the downside of pitching in the rain. Nothing that a microfiber cloth can't resolve. 😊

The packed size is HUGE!! I use a 3x3 metre tarp and Bivy. A fraction of the size ..

Nice review both the pros. and cons. Setting the thing up after dark looks like something to be avoided. Just one thing if you put the tent away wet, you were lucky not to have mould a d mildew every where you should have dried it when you got it home .

They are great tents, of very high quality and I've always admired them, but here in Canada it would be around $1000 to get one to my door, so I just can't justify that much investment, especially when most trips I do I stay in motels now. I'm still using my 2 man tent I got from Amazon for 45 bucks around 8 years ago and it still serves me well and holds strong. Packs down much smaller than the big lone rider tent too.

Cracking bit of kit 👍🏻

Nice one Saffy 🙂

👍good job.

Saffy ❤ nice one

Looks like a good tent but comes with a reasonably high price tag, so you would expect good quality. As I'm unlikely to be touring Europe anytime soon, I'll be just using a very basic two man tent. I do need to set it up and make sure all the poles are there ready for the ABR festival.

Lone Rider do a short instructional video on setting up the outer tent first (for when it's raining) - seems fairly straight forward 🤷🏻‍♂️

I like but bit heavy for my liking. I went with a naturehike cloud up3 n an oex tarp. (Loads of room for me and Flossy😊)

I became a Patreon 2 weeks ago and sent you a message. Love your content and am a big fan.

As a non tent/camping guy, any tent which appear to be a puzzle game would totally put me off, I'd want something which goes up quickly and simply, without a lot of messing around

Traveling alone I use a waterproof sleeping bag and a small tarp over me and the bike. Takes little room and one minute to set up

Bought one late last year but not had a chance to use yet.

Great review. Though ur abnormally long grass was triggering my add, cut it, its to long, its freaking me out lol😂

Have the large Lone Rider tent that packs up not much bigger and is twice the size of that. Feel for a small tent it packs up to big.

Many comments here simply miss the point. I must point out. That the cross poles MUST be fitted OVER the main ridges. Above. This is stated in the Instructions.

Hiya Saffy, what was the name of the straps you use for securing your gear to the bike? You said the name but couldn't make out what you said.. cheers...

0:54 👍

2:25 🤣👍

I love your boring videos ❤❤❤❤

Did you find the tent was supplied with enough pegs? My MSR Elixr while brilliant, only has the minimum number so I ended up nicking several from my old one that something nibbled at in the shed.

خيمة رائعة بزواياها .. 4:29 لا تقولي تلك الكلمة!! فهي غير لائقة من فمك ❤👍لأن محتواك جميل أو كما تريدي 👌شكرا

I've been looking at the 3 seconds tent, anyone have any experience with them?

Apparently if it is raining you can erect the fly first and then the inner keeping everything dry.

Pricy but good tent nice video x

❤️🔥🥰👋👍👍👍 a romantic room for 2 , with a great view

Cost?

GREAT tent EXCEPT the sleeping area is much too small. Redverz tent is a bit bigger. Lone Rider needs to do something half way between their moto tent and their MOTO HOUSE…..with lighter material.

Do you still have your first tent, the one your bike went in?

Ok 👍👌

👍👋

A point on marketing wank: the aerospace industry has found a good use for nearly every grade of aluminium in existence. In fact, the bulk of those were invented for and by the aerospace industry. From the toughest, strongest structural alloys, to the softest and flimsiest, there's a use for it on an aircraft, therefore it's "aircraft grade". That is to say, the term "aircraft grade aluminium" is so broad and vague as to be completely meaningless. It's worse even than "mil spec", which is the LOWEST standard to which something ought to be built. But at least it IS a minimum standard. "Aircraft grade" isn't even that.

Why do I have 2 tents 🤣🤣 ive got 7 🤦🏻‍♂️

I just use a pop up tent i'm Lazy. 😂

How about a lone rider lawn mower😂😂😂

That is massive, and heavy for what it is. My Big Agnes 3 person Tiger Wall tent is larger when put up, and packs to 1/4th the size of that tent, it's also 3lbs lighter, and about the same price. Yeah no thanks.

14:29 why do you ONLY have two tents? Thats some rookie numbers

Hi fyi re warning triangle its Not a legal requirement in France as you stated or Germany onxa Motorcycle in a Car it is a Legal Requirement

Little tip for you when setting up in the dark. Buy 4 small glow in the dark zipper pulls in two different colours. Add one of each colour to each of the inner tent doors and another of each colour to the corresponding outer fly doors for each entrance. Then in the dark, you just match the zipper pull colours together and you know you have it orientated the correct way.

That grass needs cutting 😅

Your bush needs a trim.....

DO NOT erect this tent the way it is done in this video. You risk potential failure of the tent poles if you do. The cross poles MUST go on top of the lengthwise pole . If you don’t you risk breaking the plastic clips that hold the cross supports which will make the tent very difficult to use.

So, it's 12 pounds, no bed roll, and costs $500... < 3 cons that I could NEVER get over.

Looks pretty pricey

That tent is big and heavy. 🙂

Ha ha .Actually you can go wrong setting your tent poles and you did it 😂.The top two short ones go on top of the bigger center pole and that is because you dont want to put stress on that clear plastic pole connectors.

Slummit Gobi up in seconds no faff.

there is a biker tent, hm, i use most times a 3 to 5 star hotel, with shower, parking spot and breakfast included.... dont do camping since i left the army...over 30 years ago! try to speak a little bit slower, most people outside the UK are not British.... so they tent to understand other languages much better...

You do know what you're doing is illegal? Looking at your garden, wild camping is not legal. Unless you're in Scotland. 😜😑😂

Has anyone ever seen one of these tent erected with anything approaching tautness? Whenever I see it on RU-vid the fly is as slack as a very slack thing. Also it’s overpriced. Plenty of just as good/better tents out there for a lot less cash. An exercise in marketing for the gullible.

Overkill.

Over complicated and far too long till your sleeping area is covered from the rain.

Overpriced tat.........

at £370 its like all Lone Rider gear... Rip OFF and totally overpriced! No wonder they are now known as Lone-Robber

$500 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂Fk NO

Top grab handle isn't a handle, it's a dry bag roll top. Tent is a stupid idea for moto-camping, far too big and heavy packed with not enough room when up. Inner first is no good in bad weather. Naturehike Cloud/MSR Elixir are my go to backpack /wildcamp/moto camping. Both fit in a rucksack. Why would you buy one of these??
