Not a hiker but a biker, thanks for the site.

I have been looking for a light weight rig for motorcycle camping, so I might be an odd ball on this site. This site has been very helpful for me and I now have a new HH up in my back yard. I have to learn how to tie knots and all but it's up and feels good. No promises but I think I'll sleep there tonight. High 40's with chance of showers, wind 10 to 20. I bought a "camping/picnic blanket" at Wally World today for $9. It's fleece backed with a polyester shell. Thought I'd use it on the bottom and use a sleeping bag. We'll see. Anyway, I have a lot to learn but this is the place and I can tell there are a lot of warm souls posting. Later

You're not the only motorcycle camper

What kind of bike? You familiar with ADVrider.com?

Welcome, YFF.

That "ugly motorcycle" you cut from my post is now all kinds of banged up.
Had a biff this past weekend.

I also like to ride and camp. Will be hanging as often as possible now that I have seen how comfortable. Fortunately on the bike there is no weight penalty for taking both the hammock and ground sleeping gear. Where in VA are you? I am in the southwestern part.

Welcome yep your not alone biker/hiker here...but new to hammocks.

Here's one of my babies.

I'm waiting for the BMW f 800 gs to come out this fall. I'd like to get an R 1200 Gs adventure as well. I've never rode a bike on the road before but have played in the dirt a little bit. I'm really wanting something to use during fair weather as an economical commuter. My truck is diesel and at $4.00 a gallon, I need something a little easier on the pocketbook to drive daily.

Cool. I'm Greenflyfarmer on ADV too. I ride a Triumph Tbird Sport and a KTM SXC 635. I'm outfitting the SXC for rides like the TAT/CDT, trying to go low weight. I'm orignally from Marion and ride that area a lot with friends and family. Just rode in the Hales Lake area week before last. My Greatgrand Parents ran the boarding house (Scales) when they logged the Mount Rogers area. I slept good until 2 pm last night comfortable. A cat fight, and my poor dog that kept checking on me and keeping the dog door flapping finally drove me indoors.
